Default Help me decide on which wheels to buy

I have it down to these two, and am leaning towards the 10 spokers. My car is white 2000 SC:

Thanks!

I like the first set of rims and they are easier to clean. The second set of rims reminds me of the Stock rims that were on 1st generation Sc.

I used to want Work Varianza Schwert SC1 rims, I grew out of it and changed my mind though. I remember they were 10 spoke.

If you're picking between these stock wheels then I would go with the 5 spoke. I used to have GS400 chrome wheels on my car and I liked it a lot

I'd go with the 10 spoke rims, have a nice, clean, settle look. Flow very well with the car as well
