Question ITC-X or Racing Hart C5?

A shop in the neighbourhood is selling used rims. They have the Volk ITC-X and the Racing Hart C5 in 18". (I am currently on 17"). Both are in good condition and are priced similary.

What do you think will be the best/nicest choice in combination with a black GS300?

I thought the 3pc C5 has been discontinued... and only the 1 piece RH evo version is available.
If the 3pc is still available, I'd jump all over it.

edit:
oh..it's a used wheel. I like C5 much better.

If the C5's are a staggered setup, with a nice rear lip, get the C5's

If not I would get the ITC's.

Today I got the Racing Hart C5

They really were very light weight, they felt lighter than my Lexus 17" chrome wheels.
I think I got a good deal.
I paid HKD3,500 for the rims (approx. USD450) and another HKD2,300 (USD300) for 4 Yoko ES100 (F:235/40/18 and R:265/35/18, used, but as 90% new).
The good thing is that I got HKD1,300 (USD165) back for my chrome wheels, which were damaged at the curbs. I also needed to buy new tires anyway, which would probably also run into HKD3,500 - 4,500 (USD450 - 580).

So for the same amount of money I got 4 RH C5 18" .
Seems a good deal to me.

I think that due to the economic crisis in Hong Kong and Japan, a lot of used parts are very cheap nowadays.

The used 18" ITC-X (also in mind conditon) was priced at approx. USD390 without tires. I heard that Japan is even cheaper (that's also one of our major sources).
