I've narrowed my wheel choices to the following wheels. The Breyton Mesh (Silver) or the Axis Penta (Hyper Black). My car color is Silver Grey so either wheel will look nice, but I'm thinking the Hyper Black color of the Axis will really look nice with the polished lip to contrast. Both wheels fit, but the Breyton requires Spacers while the Axis requires a center ring. The Axis needs the ring because it is 114.3 I believe instead of 120. I like to go fast at times (very fast) and I'm not interested in vibrations for either setup. I've already looked up websites that ships either wheel with rings or spacers as needed with the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 tires I want. Both wheels are in the 26 lbs area with the Axis I think being maybe half pound less than the Breytons.
Any input would be helpful:

I've tossed the idea of 19" or 20" for over a month now. I think I'll go 19" cause I don't want to deal with the frustration\cost of rolling fenders, etc. My cousin is pushing me towards the 20" calling them "bad-a$$", but I want 19" since this is my daily driver and the additional pounding and charge doesn't do it for me.
I actually saved the following from a fellow member, "No 20" is just as safe, just NOT those tire specs combined with those offsets. You will be ok with 245 up front and 285 rear at most."
I'm not willing to take that chance and that's why I made this post cause I was really concerned with hub rings vs spacers.

member polepostion is running breyton race gts in 20's. i believe he has 8.5 in front with 255/30/20 and 10"s in the rear with 295/25/20 and they send you 18mm spacers, but with his tire size he is using 12mm spacers. you can use thew 18mm they send you if you dont run a 295 tire size in the rear. i also dont believe he had to roll his fenders. he never mentioned that to me. if i were you i would get 20's, i think theyll look better and you live in florida! if you were up here where the roads are as crappy as crappy gets then i would reconsider. either way your car will look awesome. wheels make the car and you have 2 nice choices lined up ;)

You should PM Axis530 and ask him to send you pictures of his car before he painted his Penta wheels. I loved the old, original look too. Tough choice. I like the Breyton's as well. Good luck.
