Hey guys this wheel just came out from TSW for 2010 and I was wondering if anyone is into the design. I think they look pretty sharp although I am happy with my Snettertons, but they still look very sharp imho. Anyone feeling these wheels

They look sort of like a plainer version of the ISP Modes to me.

I think they look nice but you know you're not going to get many around here to say much. It has to be multipiece or forged to get a peep out of these guys. It looks nice but so do the ones you have now. They are timeless. These look more modern if that helps. I understand wanting a change though....that's what we do!

You should probably wait until the new Lexus line of TSW wheels comes out with more models if you don't like the first one, that 5 spoke. I like it but many people don't prefer 5'ers.

nice, I would imagine even nicer in Chrome than Hyper Silver.

I would also think they are MUCH easier to clean than the Snettertons.. those are a bear.

You're 110 % right on that. Maybe you will inspire me to change styles

I always prefer chrome . I think thats what is keeping me from buying these or a new set of Vossens

A clean looking wheel but nothin special.

I can think of a lot of other cast wheels that I would go with over this one. Vossen can't be beat in 1 piece cast wheels in my opinion. But I also know you like chrome and Vossen does not do that finish.

I used to feel like the mesh look was played out but then you realize they are just classic. The 5 spoke is classic as well but the design is a bit to simple for my taste. I had 5 spoke 19 AXis HAggen wheels on my G35 and I loved them but the entire time I would look at them and think I wish had been a bit more adventurous with my selection. In the end when I selected the wheels I just wanted to find something that looked exactly like the stock 17" wheels

I think they would look really good with the windows painted black. Good style face for the GS. I am a fan of the multi spoke rims on the GS.

true a 5 spoke wheel will always be classic. i like the hagens too except for where they meet the barrel. dont like how those flare out there.

Not bad a bit plain, spokes look kind of straight to my eyes.
