How about getting a wheel that FITS your car. Both are going to look sunk, and will scrub your coilovers if you get them. Save your money, buy coils, then get wheels that fit.

S14s are a rare breed around where I live, so the second choice of wheels would be the one I would go with.

But ultimately your car, your choice.

HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!

I think they both look rather sexy. You cant say that the smortmax rims look straight up bad.

Just take a look at this lovely 240 w/ 962:zer...age=3

EDIT: Not baller, but dead sexy
