Default Help me to pick my new wheels
I've been looking at mid-priced wheels for my black GS300. I'm lowered on Tein CS, have RCAs, and plan on going 19 staggered with a fat set up. the choices are:

- Axis Elite - (Matte Black Center with Machined Accents)
- Forgestar F-14 - (Titanium)
- Linea Corse Strasse - (Hyper Black w/ Pol Lip)

What do you think?

Yeah man...I'd go with the forgestars as well! I am about to pick up a sweet set of the F05's REAL soon from D-2! Forgestars are awesome and they are light as hell if your into the performance thing. I think they mentioned that 19X10's weighed in at 22.4 lbs each! GL, I think they will look HOT on your ride.

I agree, although nice wheels, for the 2GS you need some lip action!

This is a no contest. The Forgestar F-14 is by far the best looking wheel of this bunch. I must confess though that I too am a sucker for lip'age on 2GS's.

Agreed, although I like some lip action as well those Forgestar's would look hot!

I like the Axis Elite but as others have mentioned these have no lip.

Wow!!

Looks like a two pony race right now, kinda glad cause #2 and #3 are my favorites. Just to make sure I'm giving proper representation here are a few more pictures of each (although I know the Axis Elites are out of the pictures now).

Here are a few more view of each of the wheels on black cars.
