I like the 970 style better. I like the "traditional" BBS Y-spoke design best, even though there's an OE version for many different cars ranging from Lincoln Town Cars to the '93 Mazda Miata LE. The 970 looks pretty close to that look, although I don't like the center cap design. One thing to consider is that the 970 allows a pretty clear view of what's behind the wheels, so if you don't have painted calipers and/or nice clean suspension bits back there they'll show. Another consideration is weight - lighter wheels will allow the car to ride and handle better - makes the suspension's job easier. Is either of these significantly heavier than the other (or stock for that matter?)?
