Simmons F-series wheels or chrome ZR-1's on an IROC?

I'm thinking abut getting either the Simmons F-Series wheels or chrome ZR-1 wheels. Both would be 17"x11" rears and 16"x8" fronts (Simmons makes them in this size and I found some place that makes the ZR-1 replicas in this size).

Pros/Cons: Now, the Simmons would cost about $2200 and the ZR-1's about $1100. That's a big difference in my book. I think the ZR-1's need spacers also, whereas the Simmons would be custom/correct offset.

So what do you think would look best on an IROC and what would you buy considering the price difference?

Simmons F-Series:


OR

Chrome ZR-1's

You can get the F-Series in differnt colors. I've seen them with bronze spokes and they look sweet. I don't know about polished, but you can get anything chromed.

wheels adapters to use 4th Gen wheels

Hey People,
I have a set of wheels adapter that are for 1st-3rd Gen cars so you can mount 4th gen wheels. Also included is a full set of Gorilla locks (every lug). These work great and fit well w/ no rubbing. I used them on my '89 RS to put on Y2K 17" SS wheels. I looks awesome, and always gets attention. I'm selling the car with the original wheels so I no longer have a need for them.

For more info you can see them at www.skulte.com

I spent $370 for everything, Asking $250 for everything.
