Your going to have to decide on looks, it's your car. As far as weight, they are roughly the same.

LOL, I have both for my 92 hatch.
They are both light, strong, cheap and cool-lookin' wheels.
I think I am starting to get bored of my SStreams so the circuit8's are back again.

*note, the circuit8's have more brake caliper clearance, good to know if you plan on going with a Wilwood 11" kit from Fastbrakes in the future.

It depends on the color of the car in my opinion.... if it's black/red go with the bronze... if it's gray.. oh what the hell, go Circuit 8's they are sweet wheels!

Hey, I like my shitstreams!

I would say, not to worry about what is played out or not, before long the circuit 8's will be just as "played out". Look how many people here posted to get circuit 8's, the trend/fad has already begun.

Thats why its better to be original... If there was a "JDM" bandwagon, it would be rollin on 15'' Shitstreams.

you always hear everyone sayin slips are played out...a lot of people have the spoons never once have i heard they were played out...guess its because they are "real JDM"...i like both slips and circuits...i do like the circuits a lil more though

Slipstreams are "played out" on the net, quit worrying about whats so damn "in" and what "the scene" cares about and note that its a good rim for the money period. they do fine at autox for me, no quality issues.

and people swear as if c8's areso new and cutting edge. its quite funny how so many people worry about "get these.those are played" when the first people to catch on to the circuit 8 were the miata autox/race people who ran c8's for so long before it became an issue of "whats played out"..f*ck the scene, just drive.
