R90s to replace my Crowns? Photoshopped... need your opinion

So I did a really quick PS of it...

Story is I've bent one of my Crowns (maybe 2 of them )...Just thinking about getting some R90s...looks a little more 'fast' lol. Opinions??

I'd probably just get replicas, which has me worried about quality...

Other option is to hold out and find some new Crowns... which is possible, mine are not too bad (slight flat spot...just annoying on the hwy)

Normally, I'd say gunmetal, but since your car is already a dark silver, I'm not so sure... Maybe try a different photo to digitally try them on, because the photo is a bit on the dark side, and that is playing tricks on the colors a bit. Do you have another daytime photo of your car?

Nice choice if you are not going to pursue the R90's...I really like how clean the 5 spoke is
