Default Need some wheel suggestions...

So last Fall I sold the MRR HR2's I had on the car.

I need new wheels before Summer gets here. Anyone have a suggestion on what wheel (or style) I should consider?

I'll probably pass over any of the HRE or the iForge lineup. Those wheels look too "executive" style. I also will pass over anything that looks too 'import utner' (like Blitz wheels). I'll definitely pass over the DUB and the donk style stuff....too bug, too gawdy.

JDM VIP is where it's at, but I'm not stuck on it. I'll be keeping the RMM kit I have on the car, and doing up the interior a slight bit just to freshen it up.

I'm considering the Work VS-XX, the Work VS-KF, and the Kranze Ratzinger. I also really like the CCW SP500; all in 19".

Can anyone recommend to me any other wheel, color, and/or size? If not, would you care to suggest one from the wheel I've listed already?

I won't be bagged and dumped like that in the pic...nor will I have the same exhaust. Kinda like this one...makes me even think about considering Work Meister S1 2pc in chrome.

I'm a big fan of the SP500's but you couldnt pay me enough to run those not chromed, and youde have to get those chromed yourself. Polished wheels without a clearcoat are a nightmare to keep clean.

The more and more I look at pics of the VSXX on the 2nd gen GS, the more and more I'm unsure that it's for me. On a 3rg gen GS, hands down for me, it's one of the nicest wheels...but for the 2nd gen, I'm liking it less and less.

It's looking like I may be going with the JP Scaras. Any positive or negative feedback on those?


...and btw, I completely agree with Pete on the SP500's. If the Scaras don't work out, I'll probably go with the CCW's.
