Which wheels should I part with?

I just picked up a set of Evo X Enkei for stupid cheap, and now I have a set of evox wheels and TWO sets of Evo 9 BBS Mr Wheels. One pair powdercoated in flat black and are flawless and the other is the SE wheels in daimond black with a decent amount of imperfections. Chips, small rash, etc.

I know i know, I'm a stock wheel *****. It is what it is. Should I part with the perfect black BBS or the flawed diamond black SE BBS? I'm torn.

Well powder coated wheels can sometimes lose they're strength or become fatigued during the heat treatment process. So i would be hesitant to use/keep the powder coated wheels.

I'd keep the SE wheels, I love mine even though they're rashed.

Before picking up the X wheels I had two sets for winter/summer. My SE wheels currently have blizzaks with another season left in them, and my Black BBS have some all season potenza's with a lot of life left. Essentially, I would use the BBS for a winter setup regardless since I am digging the look of the X wheels.

The plan is to sell one of the sets to my little brother for his mazdaspeed3 for cheap. So they wont be gone forever. But he does want to buy them from me so they can be "his" if that makes sense. Sounds like you all are leaning towards keeping the SE wheels though?

What it really comes down to is what color YOU prefer, the black or the diamond finish on the SE, keep whichever you like better, it's not like you can't find another set of MR/SE BBS wheels down the road if you get yourself that torn up about it.
