Default Help me pick out my new rims!

After browsing countless pages I have finally settled on two types of rims I would want to get for next year. What are your opinions?

Opinions.. not really digging them. Just look like cheap les schwab wheels. If you settled on them, why ask for opinions? I believe everyone should choose whatever they want. Not what a bunch of dudes over the internet want you to get...

Go 30' chromes! No don't do that. The wheels in the pics are OK...the usual wheels you see on random Accords.

If you like a split 5 spoke design check out the new TSW Mirabeau for 2013. Super clean concave with lip and no gay fake multipiece bolts. AND in 19" these come is 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10.5. I would go 9.5 and 10.5. Which is pretty rare for 1piece 19"

They are pretty limited in the offsets though. only 1 offset option per width.

8.0 +35
8.5 +20
9.0 +30
9.5 +40
10.5 +27

Ya I feel you on that. I'm not a big TSW fan either but pretty nice looking cost effective wheel. Much better looking than their earlier years stuff. But this wheel wont be available till mid 2013 LOL

The ONLY good looking Foose wheels are the ones used on the "Overhaulin" SEMA 2012 Chrysler 300...
