Top! No, Bottom! Wait, Top! Oh crap, Bottom! Hold on, ...Top! I know, BOTH! Oh hell, buy the wheels you want. Who cares what we think. Obviously, there is a wide range of tastes on this board. Just grow a pair and make a decision.

i think the size of your braking system also matters.. i wouldnt go for double spokes if you have oem braking discs.. it will look kinda weird

what size spacer would you need to clear bbk? i know these wheels are 40mm offset...so would a 5mm spacer do the trick for a c230ss?
