Since I have a set of the Rewinds I just wanted to add on and emphasize the "non race" aspect of your comment. Go for the Panasports if you like the style and can afford the extra cost over the Rewinds. The Rewinds are for looks, not so much for performance...though the extra 1.5" of rubber on the road does help with the notorious oversteer and keep you from tracking on rutted out highways. On the downside they are about 10 lbs heavier apiece than the stockers (rim& tire), and after a spirited weekend in the mountains at DGRR last year I found that the center caps were a bit looser than when I first installed them, as if the rims had stretched a little.

If you go with the Rewinds I recommend getting the hub rings too. I think they would have helped me when one of my lug bolts somehow worked loose on the road and then the other 3 came out within 100 yards of each other. Amazingly the axle just dropped straight down on the inside of the rim and I was able to pull over without incident. I thought I had a blowout, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw that all the tires were inflated and the axle was just sitting down in one wheel. Good thing it wasn't on the front, or that I haven't yet swapped over to the lsd and rear discs!!
