VTO Classic 8's vs Panasports in Silver/Polished lip

I'm thinking about giving myself one of these sets of wheels in 15X7, 0 offset for Christmas. A couple questions I have are: What are the advantages/disadvantages of the VTO's vs the Panasports? I know the Panasports are considerably more expensive, but just looking at the online photos of both wheels they look nearly identical to me (except for the "VTO" or "Panasport" emblem in the center cap).

The wheels will be used exclusively for street driving, and my suspension is all stock. Does anyone know if there is any significant difference in the weights of the two brands? Strength? Materials used in construction? Color? Finish?

Also, futofab.com is offering a 20% discount on the VTO's this week (black friday promotion), but I've not had much luck finding any deals on the panasports. I see MSA no longer sells them. Who is a good source for those? Any advice is much appreciated.

Spruell Racing in Atlanta has great prices on Panasports......shipped same day. I think I paid $998.00 for my last set from Spruell......16x7's.

Thanks for all the info on suppliers and weights. One last unanswered question: If the Classic 8's and Panasports both LOOK exactly the same, why would I pay almost twice as much for the Panasports? Again, we're not talking a racing application here. I know there must be differences in construction, I just would like to know if those differences justify the additional cost for street use.

Again, thanks...

Well, the futofab BF sale finally made pick a 16 wheel. Classic 8's or Panasports? No brainer, Classic 8's it is. Thanks Dave for the sale! Santa comes early this year.

Jim, I know it's been a few years but how are the wheels from FutoFab treating you? Post a few pics if you get a chance, I'd love to see what you purchased.
