Hi folks,
I have been debating with myself for a while now about buying a new set of wheels for the IS. Although I do like the OZ's I currently have, they are not the wheels I really really want. I have been looking at A LOT of rims and have narrowed it down to the following selection.

I would just like to get some opinions on these wheels and some reasons for likes and dislikes. Please don't hold back and be honest msn-wink.gif

Hope these pics are the right size.

Buddyclub P1 racingII

G games 98b

Gram Lights 57f

Gram Lights T57 rc

Ro-Ja R2-5 mercury silver

Ro-Ja R2-5 carbon black

Ro-Ja R2-7 carbon black

Ro-Ja R2-7 Rays metal coat

Team Daytona Racing DR505

Volk Progressiv TE face 2

mats selling his volks
bargain considering the retail price of them

i allways think that japanese wheels somehow look better than the european equavalents

buddyclubs look nice biggrin.gif
Mr Morse
They all look pretty decent to me.....it's down to personal choice!

Didn't realise Matt was selling his rims blink.gif
I like the te37's but only in 19" as they have a very different profile in 19".
Buddy Club's are tasty and about half the price of all the rest but I'm still not convinced.

Cheers for comments so far more welcome!!! blush.gif
Mr Morse
Have a look here too, they do some tasty rims:

Waaagwaaan Peeps. Yeh dudes me bin researching rims bares the past few weeks. Umm...I like the Team Daytona Racing DR505. They kinda look like the traffistar STS's which are hevy! What colours your car dude?

G games 98b look awsome
Volk Progressiv TE face 2 look awsome too - I am a big fan of six-spokes
Ro-Ja R2-7 Rays metal coat look good but in my opinion anything polished/chrome is bad news in uk weather, especially salty winter roads - as I am sure I will find out next winter (just bought the car and didn't choose the wheels), already spots of corrosion on them.

I would go for a laquered finish every time.

Never been a fan of black wheels, on any colour car.

Cheers codlord. Thats the kind of reply I need!!!

Thanks for the link Mr Morse. I have looked at nearly every wheel on that site and although I like a lot of them I still think the ones above are nicer IMO. I just can't choose between these wheels.
It is gonna be either the buddy club or the Volk progressive though I think.

They are all very nice. Tuff choice.

Aaahhh!! the Rota GTR!!!
Lovely wheel. They were in my last list of option before I narrowed it down once again. The only reason they are not in the list now is cos they only go up to 18"

Are you gonna go for white again or the colour pictured????

Here guys I found these pics while pondering over my decision on the new wheels. Think some of the new IS crew will like this. Looks pretty smart on the new GS too:-)
