Default Need opinions on wheels

Getting some 15X10s and matching skinnnies for the front for my 2000 SS. Should i get the Race star wheels (which is located 15 miles from my house) or order some Billet Specialties street lites (about $50 more per wheel PLUS shipping...but DO look alot better IMO. BUT you have to grind on the brakes and maybe even run spacers to make work). Heres a link to the B S street lites http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BSP-RS035106145N/ and heres the Race Stars http://www.racestarindustries.com/

I think both wheels look good but the BS wheels would get my nod.

Race Star wheels are made in china (They are not like the old greg welds)
They use a oval uni lug pattern, which I would prefer not to use.

Billet Specialties makes nice solid wheels. I am actually thinking about street lites myself. Considering a 17x7 front and a 15x10 rear cause I want to have a streetable drag setup. I'd have to see a pic first though.
