Default Help Me Decide Please

The car is 1997 SC300.

I made up my mind to get JDM wheels, but not sure which one to get yet. gs4will helped me with the selections, and here are my 2 choices in 18 inch:

A/X Style-LK in polish
http://www.rayswheels.co.jp

Eurohart ST1 in silver
http://www.hartwheels.co.jp/cat_euro...ncept.htm#spec

1. What would you choose?

2. What is your recommendation in width and offset?

3. If I go with staggered setup, ie: 18x8 f + 18x9r, should I go with 245/40-18 + 275/40-18 or 235/40-18 + 265/35-18?

4. My car is still at stock and I don't plan to drop it. Will 18 inch look really funny? As long as they look better than the stock 16 inch wheels setup, I think I will be happy.

5. I will also get the Dunlop LM702. I was told that they are basicaly the same as Dunlop SP Sport 5000. Anyone knows how good/bad they are and what kind of tractions they have in snow?

I looked at Bersaglio Spoke III in polish as well, but the price is a little too high for me.

Thanks in advance everyone.

IMO, both wheels are very nice, but I like the Euroharts better.

that eurohart one is pretty...can you guesstimate how much those run? while you're at it, get a low offset and high-disk fitment just in case you want big brakes in the future. shouldn't cost anymore

i thought that spoke III design is a little funny looking. i have the spoke II/BR5 and love that look.

The Eurohart ST1 is quoted a little over $2000.
