Wheels!!!???

In the next couple of weeks I am looking to get some new wheels and tires. Currently I am torn between performance and looks. These are the 2 I am currently deciding between but I am open to any suggestions.

Let me know what you think.

Whatever you do, don't go staggered, don't go heavy.

Grams all the way.

Voting on the grams too. FYI, the reason they're so cheap is they stopped making the 57F so jump on it quick! Once those are gone at that price, they're gone.

As a fan of Gram Light's, Goodyear Eagle F1's and 245x40's all around this was an easy poll.

BTW did you see someone in WA is selling bronze FN01R-C for $1200? They are 18x8.5 +38mm so not very concave but that is a personal taste thing anyway.

I have a few wheels I'm considering but at this point it is up in the air. If I end up selling mine then I will need to buy stock OE wheels or take them in partial trade for my wheels because it will be a while once I pull the trigger.

Two wheels I'm considering (do not tell anyone )

BBS Japan LM-R



INGS+1

My wheels do look great on WB. A forum member that does not post much now used to have a WB MS 8 with my wheels that looked great!

I really like the gunmetal and silver INGS+1 wheels

and1kidd, get the pdxhak's G-Games, they are really nice looking wheels. I almost got a set before settling on my JICs. They would still be my first choice if I was going to go 19".

pdxhak, get the IGNS+1 in gunmetal!

I like mesh wheels, like the BBS, but think they have more of a classic look and clash with the modern RX-8 styling. They look better on FCs and FDs. Just my opinion of course.
