153 tooth or 168?

I am getting a new flywheel with my clutch since the clutch is about shot, and I'm not entirely sure which toothed flywheel to get? There seems to be 153 toothed and 168 toothed both of which claim 'oem'. I have a stock oem starter.

If its the T5 transmission then a 168 tooth won't even fit the bell housing. I went through that mess when I was installing my 400.
