Lancejoker- I'm guessing you have enough on your plate just managing your own life, much less deciding that others are "idiots" for making the decisions they make. Is this clear enough?.

Wow, some of us who have been automatically subscribed to the thread saw the original answer, RSchleder. Your hostility is uncalled for.

Lance, shop heavily, look at zillions of pics, see what you can in person and buy what makes you happy. That's what I did when making my wheel purchase, and in the end, not everyone liked my choice, but I'm still very happy every time I look at my Z.

Trying to satisfy anyone else may leave YOU unhappy.

May I suggest the mods close this one....
