Default Blitz or work for my SC?

I am looking at a set of Blitz Technospeed and also came across a set of SSR SP1 Professors both are 18's. What do you guys think?

This is my 97 5spd

I've always loved the blitz wheels, but its style is a little old. You can't go wrong with either.

I've seen a yellow NSX with the Blitz Technospeed wheels or a similar style; looked real nice. I wish I could find the pic. I think I saw it on nsxprime a long time ago.

The SSR SP1 Professors aren't that bad either; just not my style. I think they look better with dark spokes and a chrome lip, imo. I don't like the design of the spokes. The dark spokes hide the spoke design more.

I kind of like your factory chrome, seven-spoke 16s. They look a lot better than my seven-spokes. The silver finish has come off a little bit on mine.

with the blitz you would need some drilled and slotted rotors and some nice brakes to pull it off- without them it would look incomplete and dull- get the ssr

The SSR's look serious, if you are going for that look. I don't really like the Blitz wheels on the SC's. I would go for some mesh wheels.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I had the Blitz on one of my TT Supras and they fit the car well and I think they would do the same for the SC. However I have always liked the aggressive look of the SSR's. I am going with FI soon, suspension, and Big Brakes so either should look good, but I am having a tough time deciding as they are totally different looks in my opinion. I am leaning towards the SSR's though .

I like the SSR's because of the step lip. I've been thinking about those wheels for my GS.

It's all about what you're trying to get out of your car.

I think it is obvious as to which wheel I will suggest, but I will say it anyways.


BLITZ!

I voted for the SSRs, but I think those Blitz are a bit more rare.
