Default Poll: Opinion on choosing wheels. Swirlies or Velox PG-5's?

I can either have velox pg-5's (15 lb, 17x7 only) or a set of 98-01 swirlies. I was thinking of getting both and using the swirlies as my winter wheels but I don't really want to spend that much on wheels.

Here's the pic of the velox's if you haven't seen them. These are going on a milano red gsr with cf hood by the way.

I was going to get them from http://www.speedandstyle.com but they stopped carrying velox unfortunatly. You can find them at veloxperformance.com but they'll probably cost you your left arm and a kidney, I'm sure most wheel sites sell them. http://www.speedandstyle.com now carries a knock-off of them made by a company called Rev, I called and talked to my buddy that works there and he said he can send them (17x7 only) to me for 699 shipped with tires. Still debating on if I should go with the Rev's or pay double the amount for the Velox's.

Those are my favorite rims right now, i cant get them because its so EXPEN$IVE. They're 1800 retail. You get what you pay for, the REV rims are ****...along with the shitty tires. The PG-5s are FORGED. They wont break on you that easily when you hit a pot hole. Thats the reason behind cheap rims and good rims.

The velox pg-5s weight 12.5 lbs, as far as i know the only come in size 17"

Few weeks back there was a buy it now on Ebay for $1375 with tires, lugs nuts, mounted and balanced. I emailed them on price with wheels only they quoted me $1200 shipped, I also got a quote of $1180 shipped from a company in sponsors section here

I'm not a track ***** or anything so I don't care about a few extra lbs. I wanted to complete the look of the car so I grabbed those. If my plans go through I'll be turbo'd by april so it won't matter.
