okay, i can't decide on a wheel for the FB

Alright here is the deal. I need to decided on the wheels for the FB. But im not sure which route to take. I need 15" or larger due to the RE speed big brake kit. I currently have 5 lug hubs, but i could easily get the 4 lug hubs and figure out how to convert the rotors via drilling, hopefully with out messing them up. I also need lower offset to clear. Stock Rx7 wheels are off by quite a bit. Problem is there are few good 15" low offset wheel choices.

But i am stuck between the following:

1. Sportmax 002 in 15x8 with 4 lug or go 16x8 in 5 lug with the 3.5" lip
2. Sportmax 512 in 16x8 with 3.5" lip only
3. Find another two 15x8.5 Prime wheels (shown below)
4. Attempt to spend the ridiculous amout of money on the SSR MKII wheels in 4 lug(i love this wheel)

there is another option of a nice set of old volk mesh wheels in 15x7 / 15X6.5 in the 5 lug pattern. If i can go that route, i think i will. If not, refer to above.
