I think the 15-spoke STI wheel looks better cosmetically. If you get them, do invest in a ceramic coating and a Speed Master Brush...they are going to be a bit of a pain in the ass to upkeep if you are anal about clean wheels.

However, unless you can find a killer good deal, you're generally looking at a pretty penny to purchase an OEM wheel and, ultimately, you are winding up with an end product in which there are 70000 bazillion others exactly like it. There are a lot of good aftermarket brands that make strong, light, affordable wheels - the brands I have had experience with are Enkei and Ray's Gram Lights, both of which likely are going to offer equal-to-superior wheels for less than an OEM replacement (and there are a ton of well-liked brands...some of which have 17 inch offerings that will clear the Brembos should you wish to stay 17-inch). This might leave you more money for either, A) better tires, or B) booze. Just my opinion tho...
