Default Deciding between 2 XXR's.. need opinions

I had my mind set on a set of XXR 522 in flat black
18x9.5 +38
18x8.5 +48
I liked the concave of the wheel spokes, but i'm a little torn now.

A member on here has a set of xxr 504's for sale
18x8 +35 all around, and i would need to get them powder coated flat black.
Anyone good with PS? i cant find anyone who's had them flat blacked and mounted on an xB2.

I'm leaning towards the 522's, because i love the look, especially how they look on Pasquales B.
*I'm lowered on NF's by the way*

My car for reference:

Naw, I say the 504's much better look for the xB2! Would look clean on the Hypnotic, I think. The 522 is too "racer" looking, nice concavity but I like the VIP style look on the xB2 much better. I think it would set of the tails etc better. Get a front lip and you're set.

By the time you pay for the 504's, cross-country shipping, breaking down the tires & wheels for powder coating, the coating itself, and remount and balance, you're probably pretty close to the cost of the new 522's and new tires.

Not a recommendation one way or the other, just an observation.
