Do you race the car? Worried about lightweight wheels?
If not, go with the svt's and spend the extra on tires.

The oz' are hands down a better wheel.
But if youre not racing your car... autox ing or whatever is it really worth it to pay the extra for lightweight rims which will probably get torn up somewhere on the 401 anyway?

Well, with the SVt wheels you know they have the proper offset. I love the looks of the 5 spoke SVT wheel and never scrubbed anywhere, despite being lowered.

Get whatever makes you happy. You will be happy with both.
But if it were me, I would stick with the Euro SVT rims and save a few bucks. They are the same look for a wheel, just the difference in weight is what your paying for. And OZ is a better wheel company.

Yup, like he said. I like the euro svt wheels much better than the five spoke version as well.
