Sorry but.... 942's are just a shitty looking version of M6 wheels imho! 701's are ILL!

19's or dont even bother!

Both wheels look great and it depends on what look you're trying to achieve. If you're looking for a more OEM look then I would say that the Miro 942 would be perfect. On the other hand, if you're looking for an ADVAN RS style look which is sportier then the VMR V701 is a good alternative. 18" wheels are best suited for those who want to save weight, cost on tires, and simply want a more comfortable ride. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details!
