Default Oettinger RZ vs. Kinesis K58

Here are some pics. I am going to be puting it on a black on black A4 with a full Oettinger kit
[front lip, sides, and rear lip], and coilovers's [probobaly Knoi]. So what do you think?

Default Hey that car isnt from SoCal is it?

I saw one EXACTLY like that in Laguna Niguel a month ago. Same wheels, badge, etc.

Default it's the Oettingers (more)

I much prefer the Oettingers because:
1) The soft profile of the lip where the small bolts go looks better than the flat surface on the Kinesis.
2) The way the spokes interrrupt the circle of small bolts looks better than the continuous circle on the Kinesis. The Kinesis spokes look stubby.
These two details make the Oettingers more interesting to look at. For me. YMMV.

Aren't the Kinesis lighter? *trying to be the voice of performance reasoning*

18" RZs are heavier than the stock Avus. Go with the K58s.
