Right, my head is spinning after looking at so many different wheel designs, but I like these 4 the most.

I was originally set on the AVS Model 6, but having seen them on the car, I'm not sure if they work (could just be the picture though).

I'd really appreciate some opinions (and I've reviewed my car and dealer mr admin - so I'm giving as well as taking :D ) . I'm looking at 18"..

from left to right:

Masitaly Sagitta
TTE 9 spoke
AVS Model 6
Lexus 6 spoke

I know AVS and TTE are good, but I've no idea of the quality of the Masitaly wheel - anyone know?

I think the Masitaly's will have a similar look to this:

The TTEs can be seen here (in chrome whereas I'd go silver):

and here's the model 6 on an IS:

and another model 6 (SophieSleeps from IS300.NET kindly sent me this photo)

TTE's or Masitaly's Rob... I am currently looking at the Chrome TTE ones myself in 18's and the ones at Lexsport...

When are you looking to get them done? Before JAE?

Definetely Masitaly's! :bounce:

2 votes for masitaly - i'd never heard of them until the other day :rolleyes:

i dunno if they're any good, but they're about 1/5 of the price of the AVS :o

i'm hoping to get them in the next couple of weeks, as my tyres are coming to the end of their life - sadly won't be at JAE, but I'll be at the next LOC meet (whenever that is)

i do like the Lexsport/L Sportline M4 too, but I wanted to go for something other than 5 spokes :)

I like the Masitaly's Rob. Either those or the Lexus 6 spokes

Masitaly have a reputation for making good wheels at reasonable prices

i say LG (league) tantrums,seen them on a lot of Jap IS200(ALTEZZA) and they look the dogs *%$£" just my thoughts......sorry doesnt really help does it

I ran Masitaly BHP on my last car, they are very good quality for the price, the Sagatta as you call it (also RPM) is a deepdish wheel so you need to remember that deep dish always look a bit smaller than there size.

These are the ones Matt spoke about,

My mate runs a set on his MkII Golf in 17" the look huge.:cool:

But my say is go with the first ones you really wanted!

damn, i'd forgotten the 7 spokes - they're also like the new l-tuned SS7 wheels and AVS model 7's

all of which i like too :(

thanks for the feedback - i think i'll go for one of each wheel - it'll look odd, but at least i won't have to make a decision :D

Masitaly's for sure!

My IS 200ie isn't delvivered 'till the day after tomorrow and I'm already considering a set!

(not got a clue about the quality though):?:
rob200
oddly enough i actually saw some on a car the other day (spooky eh?) and they are very nice wheels, have a good shine and nice deep lip..

...but i've gone in another direction now, and am looking at some nice 5 spokes, but can't decide between silver or gunmetal finish :?:

still you can get the masitalys now and not worry that someone else has them :)

I like HRE's!!!
rob200
me too - i like the 446

but I could buy a car for the same price as a set of them :)

They are not cheap wheels, but the lex isn't a cheap car either.
I am deffenately putting them on the GS when I get it.
