Default Which wheels for me?

I've narrowed down my choices to 2 (which are listed below). The car is a Milano Red 95 Civic. Either rim will be 16" and flat black.

Black Racing Pro N1


Rota Slipstream

I agree go with the Black Racing. They weigh 16 lbs in 16 inch. The Rotas are a little lighter but the Black Racing wheels are made in Japan.

I know rotas pare played out...but you could get attacks, which are exactly the same as those "Black Racing" (wtf.) Rotas are a HELL of alot cheap than 170 a piece

Attacks only come in 15 or 17 though.

I don't like the yellow writing on those black racing wheels either...

The attacks are a copy of the volk gram lights (5 spoke). The Black racing wheels are an Advan RG copy (6 spoke).

I love the style of the BR but the price is making me lean towards the Rotas. They are "played out" to some degree on this message board but I have yet to see a set around me (not to say that I won't). Hmm... still deciding?
