Default Wheels, could you please help me decide on some wheels?

I am looking to get some 17" to my Classic v3 STi.

I can't decide between Speedlines 1909 and Oz Superleggeras

both in Silver for a Silver car....

What do you guys think? how do the spec of the wheels compare? (weight/strengh) they cost more or less the same.





Your views would be greatly appreciated!

cheers
Koji

I think Rota Formulas would look very nice or some nice speedline Turinis

don't like either of the 2 wheel selections you have put up sorry

Out of the 2 choices you have put up, then I would say the Oz ones They look much better and look like there is much more to them.
But there are so many out there to choose from. Why have you picked these wheels out of hundreds of different ones?

Out of those two then the Oz ones, the others look too similar to the newage standard 17 inch wheels if you ask me.
