XXR 521 or XXR 526 on PG Coupe

Whats up guys! I just recently picked up an 08 g37s coupe and lowered it on h&r springs. Im trying to decide on what wheels to go with and have narrowed it down to these two. I want to do black/polished, I just cant decide which would look better. I know the 526 come in 20x9 and 20x11 with a +13 offset and the 521 are 20x8.5 and 20x10.5 with +30...but just cant decide...Opinions? heres some pictures of my car.

The 526 will need spacers to clear the akebono brakes. And them you will need a lot body work to make them fit. I test fitted them a wile back ago and opted for some other rims.

Really? I called next level and the guy on the phone told me the 526 will clear akebonos. I guess he was wrong. What kind of body work needs to be done besides rolling the fenders?

You can find much better wheels in the marketplace. Your OEM wheels are higher quality and hold a better value.

WickediLLusioNs, I kinda like what you're rockin on your G right now. Are those Plastidipped or painted? If they're dipped just shoot a nice Gunmetal powdercoat on them FTW. And if they're already painted sorry, hard to tell from the pic

Thanks brother! they are actually plastidipped for the time being. Im dropping my car off next week to have the roof, grill, and rear lower valence painted black as well as getting my taillights done in the gtr style. With all the black and PG i figure black wheels would match best.
