Default Gunmetal ITR or bronze 15" Mugen MF10 wheels on a black 96-00 Civic Coupe?

Gunmetal Integra Type R rims or bronze 15" Mugen MF10 rims on a black 96-00 Civic Coupe? Before you ask, yes, Mugen does make 5-lug 15 inch MF10s, they could be bought from here: http://www.takakaira.com/ for $335 a wheel. I know that this is kind of like comparing a Kia to a BMW, but price is not really a factor for me. Which one do you guys think looks better on a black 96-00 Civic Coupe?

Also, I can't find any pictures of either of those wheels on black 96-00 coupes, so If you find one, please post. Thanks!

Both wheels look really nice on black, but I prefer the Mugens, especially in 15in, hardly anyone has those.

i think mugen mf10's look kinda "squashed" when theyre 15s. they look badass when 16s tho

therefore, between the two choices of 15s, id go with the gunmetal ITR wheels. that would look pimp.

Thanks for the input guys. One of my concerns about the MF10s is theft. Do you think that MF10s are more easily stolen then ITR Gunmetals? I have been driving my stock Civic for over 6 years and I have never had anybody break into my car before, but reading these forums has just made me more worried. If I add Mugen rims, but keep everything else looking stock, how much more likely will it be for my car to be stolen over a completely stock Civic? How about with ITR gunmetals? Would most non-import enthusiasts just think that the ITR gunmetals are stock wheels (because the ARE stock wheels for the ITR)?

get 16s because then u have the option of upgrading to a bigger disc brake set up, like the fast brakes kit. i have 15 inch mugens and sometimes i want 16s so i can put larger rotors on. only upgrade i can do is rotor, pads, and lines really.
