Picture of my car from last spring attached at bottom
1999 9-3 SE HOT 60k
Black
Stock Struts, Springs
current wheels are 16" with 205/50/16 tires
(Plan to install Eibach Pro-System(Springs and Struts)

I will be doing a wheel and tire package from tirerack soon(mounted, balanced with hidden weights, all installation hardware), and I'm trying to decide between these two wheels. Both are close in price. So I need to deicide based on look, strength, durabilty, weight, etc. Please help! (include reasons why you chose which one you did please) Any and all pictures of these wheels on cars would be VERY VERY helpful, even if you just email them to me by clicking on my name above.

Also, I plan on getting the Pirelli PZero Nero M+S's. Should I go with 215/45/17 or 225/45/17 tires? turning radius affected? rubbing? will these cause any problems after I lower it with any of these combinations?

-- I know this has been discussed to death, but I couldn't turn up any pictures or discussions of these two wheels or manufacturers, so please forgive me for beating a dead horse.
