Hmmm Boyds or Intro

Oh dear,
Im sat on the fence here. I was all set to get a set of Boyd Hotrod wheels, then I looked at Intro wheels as well. I really like their GT Sport and Rally wheels. Im gonna go for 17x8 front 17x10 rear. I was getting slightly concerned that the Hotrods, although a terrific looking wheel, are getting done to death? Help me out here, any opinions welcome

BTW I looked at sportruck.com and they dont list a 17x10 for the Hotrod?

I like the hotrods way better. They are much sleeker. I like the intros too....but those rivets ruin the look of the wheel

Well interestingly, the GT wheels come without the rivets, as they are an extra at $25 a wheel. I agree, better without the rivets.

Crap, I was going to get a shipping rate from sportruck.com, but they dont ship to the UK Are there any other vendors in the US for Boyds or Intros.
BTW I noticed that sportrucks prices are cheaper than on Boyds own site
