race look or deep dish wheels for 3rd gen

I wonder what complements the car better, a deep dish like the professors or a race wheel like the work emotion. Does anyone run the work wheels?

Plus sized, multi-piece, deep dish wheels *always* look sweet on an FD, however, they come at a price, most notably heavier weight. Having the "look" is more or less the status quo for most people.

Here's an fd with work wheels. If it's mainly a street car, just get whatever you think looks best, and get some lightweight wheels or use the stockers for racing/auto-x w/r-compounds.

There is also a database with weights of aftermarket wheels if you do a search. Let me know if you can't find the weight of a specific wheel as I have some that aren't listed there or on wheelspecs.com

Thanks for your input. Would you have the weight of the emotion cr, any 17 or 18 inch?

Thanks

Deep Dish!!!!!!!

SP1 all da way. I like them much as I'm really thinking about getting some. But, SSr is almost gone, so I don't know what to think.

Sweet,
I considered those at well. Some of the attraction of the SP1s is that tirerack has them in stock, so no waiting for 3 months.
