Coys C5 or AR Torq-Thrust M?

I was going to get the Torq Thrust M wheels then I saw on here that people like the C5's. Which wheel/company is better since they are both at similar prices.
Also what is Coy's warranty? Their website is not the best...

Oh, by the way. 17x8 with 235-55 tires will fit no problem with a 2 inch drop. Correct?

Yeah. That is what I am leaning towards, the Anthracite ones.
I have heard that Wheel Pros bought American Racing out and that the wheels would more then likely go up 20-30%...

Well let me help you with that.
Tires are 245/45/17 on a 3.5"/4.5" drop, but 235/55s should fit just fine with a 2" drop.

i like the torq thrust m all except for the lug area, looks to bulky for my taste. I have both torq thrust 2s and coy c5s. the torqs don't polish worth a shit. my c5s are chrome so, they're easy to maintain.

Polished Coys don't polish worth a shit either. Cast wheels never do.
