Default help me pick my wheels

Right now I have stock ITR wheels, i want to get something 15x7 before i have my Azeni's mounted. Right now it's between Kosei K1s and Stern Aguzze's, do y'all have any input one way or the other?

Price independent, I'd get the Kosei's. They have a reputation for being a strong wheel. They're on sale at tirerack, but only in +38mm offset, which is not ideal for the R. I asked around and the consensus is it will probably rub unless you roll your fenders.

Price dependent, I'd get the Sterns. I haven't heard much about them, but sometimes no news is good news. For the price, how can you go wrong? I'll probably buy SO7's w/ Azenis next week and end my own search for lightweight 15x7 wheels.

www.tires.com

the ATS website doesn't seem to be working, so just go to Discount Tire Direct.

yikes, just checked them out, i'm not liking them too much, plus they're 200 more per set than the other wheels. ;( oh well. it'll probably be the sterns.

i dont know if it really matters but i thought that the k1's were just a little bit heavier then the stern's. but im not exactly sure.

i think whichever is cheaper and lighter. they both look the same and i think they will be of equal quality... what color are you looking at?

What's wrong with the stock wheels, most people would kill for stock R wheels.

Stock wheels are 15x6. 15x7 is a much better wheel for a 205 tire.
