Default HELP: Need input on wheels (got it down to two)

I was going to go with those HPRacing wheels that ta25th posted but they don't offer them in 17s and I honsetly don't want to be buying 18" tires for as long as I have the wheels, so I looked elsewhere for affordable wheel choices. ROH wheels I think look great and are right up my price alley (around $200-225 per wheel), and I've narrowed it down to the ZR6s and the Snypers. I thought I had my mind made up, but after looking at the close up pics each wheel has it's own appeal (one is more aggressive looking while the other is more beefy and almost more classy looking maybe). So which do you guys think I should go with? Just trying to get some input on this decision, wheels are alot of money and I want to spend my money wisely.

EDIT: The board is acting funny, just copy and past each one, but add (3_4).jpg on the end of the link for the Snypers and ZR6s.

Every Fbod I see with those ROH wheels seems cheap to me. I just don't like em. Why not get some Iforged wheels? I would keep looking.

Not a big fan of chrome, it's nice but not for me. Just too heavy and flashy, I prefer polished or just plain silver. The RT is OK, comparing wheels like that I like the Fury wheels much better than the RTs. The Adrenalines are OK too but dont come in any size I'd want. The Snypers and ZR6s are a tough call to me. I kinda like the Snypers more, just more edgy and aggressive looking, but the big lip on the ZR6s is a nice plus not to mention the lug cover.
