Decisions, decisions - Sport Techno vs. Sport Design Wheel

I just picked up an '02 C2 Cab in Arctic Silver. The car came with 18" Sport Design. I have a set of 18" Sport Techno that I took off my '00 C2 Cab. I'm having a hell of a time trying to decide what set I should put on the car. I've attached 2 links....what do you think?

I had the Sports Design Porsche OE wheel on my '02 Boxster S. Hit a pot hold and bent the wheel after one week of ownership. Its pretty but fragile IMO. I think the Techno is quite sharp, easier to clean and stronger. The Techno is my choice.

I have the Sport Techno's on my 996 and I can resoundly say that they are one of the easiest wheels to clean

I can even slip my hand within the spokes and clean the inner parts of the wheel which I normally do every wash only because it is just a simple task to do.

i will take the other side; i like the sport designs, especially given the fact that they're both 18". i also like the sport designs on the cabs as well, but i will say this: either wheel will look great!
