Smile Old or new

Okay after seeing that last picture I'm staying with old style chrome as my choice.

I did like that close up of the new at what must be a show

Question Old or New.

Chuck,
For now, I will vote for the oldschool version. But I will say that untill I see those wheels in person and in chrome, I won't know for sure.

New design...not just for size, I also like the flare from center to outside edge. Very nice ... more sport.

I like the new ones, and honestly like the new ones that are on the new IS more than the ones on the new GS.

I honestly like the old one. I wished they came in 18s! The new ones kinda reminds me of RX330 wheels for some reason. I'm not too crazy about how the spokes get wider as they reach the tire.

So here's my choice. I just wished they made them in 18s.
