I'd say keep on looking. I think both of those styles are getting kind of old. Try something like a Konig Heluim or Blatant(Both can be got for less that $175ea). Or try something else in the Rota line like the Battle, Tarmac or Attack. I'd go with 17" with the full kit on your car. 17" Rota's only weigh about 16lbs.

Who cares if they are old and "played out"? Rotas are damn good for the money given their weight and strength. Go for them !

I am not saying that Rotas aren't good wheels. I own a set. Look at the post closer before you retort with a comment. I suggested three different Rota wheels to this person. What I was suggesting is the the Slipstream style is getting a little old. And you are correct everyone is entitled to choose what they want, but when someone is asking for guidance others are allowed to give their input.

Default Re: what rims... (95si)

If you have a del sol with a kit on it and you are deciding between the same sizes for both the wheels listed then I would choose the first one, I prefer the second choice, but with a kit on it the wheels need a more unified look with the car. The outside lip on choice number 2 will make the wheel seem smaller than they atually are, especially on a car with a body kit.

Do as you please.
