Between the two, I personally like five-spoke / split five-spokes like the 2011s. The full-face F-Sport wheels aren't my favorite but still look good. When it comes down to it though, it's up to you!

I like the F-sports but the 2011s are nice at the end of the day I would go with the lighter rims out of the two. By the way which rim is lighter?

Full face is 20ish lbs. And fsport 2011 are like 27ish I believe. I think I am leaning towards the 2011 still. Might beeped another day or two to ponder it.

The 2011 Fsport wheels are the only Fsport wheels I like.

If you're going to buy wheels, why dish out money for something that comes stock with another car?.. And I also like the full faced one.

I know somebody on CL has those on their car, so you can find it and it will give you a better perspective on them.

Eh. I'm assuming he's buying them for looks, and if you're going to spend $2.5k on wheels, why buy something that you will see on every other 2011 F-Sport.

+1. I happen to like the 2011 Fsport wheels better than the full faced ones. I don't like the price for them though, a bit on the expensive side .
