Stumped on what wheels I should get.....

Here are the two choices I have limited them down to...Konig Appeals, I can get them for 5 bills with BFG Drag Radial T/A's. They are 17 x 10 rear, 17 X 8 up front. Or SportMax 962's, Gun Metal in color and same sizes. The sportmax are $450 without tires. Here are some pictures of each....

962's Hands Down. They will fit with the car's look and "era" way better.

Just my opinion.....

I say save your money and get something thats got a tad bit more quality. I know not everyone can afford new Volks all the time, but cheap wheels don't really withstand the test of time that real wheels do. In my experience Rota and other knock offs look great, but don't hold up against the abuse that others do. My honest opinion is save a little bit more and get some 5Zigen FN1-RC(?). The name is always a ball buster, but they're light, durable, and have great style. My $.02

If the first set of rims didnt have so much detail I'd love them. 17'' 5-stars get me off. And the second ones look a little too bluhh. And I'm not crazy for dark colored rims on FC's. But hey- opinions are like ********, everyone has one.
