It's in the first post. Nice wheels, but I think the spokes are too thin for the car. Just my opinion. Nice wheels nonetheless.

Still debating whether or not to get 8 or 8.5 or 9 since I have AWD and want to fill in the wheel wells with correct offset. This stuff is just so expensive!!! Don't want to make a mistake.

sorry, not a fan. with those wheels the car certainly needs a big brake kit.

did you look at the SSR Competitions? They are similar in style, MUCH MUCH MUCH lighter, and not blinged out

The wheels look really nice in real life trust me the pictures doesnt do the wheels justice. I am also not a big fan of chrome and didnt want something to loud or immature looking but on these wheels since the spoke's are very thin the chrome is not to loud do to the thin spoke design.

In regards to the SSR Competitions I dont care for any of those wheels I am also not concerned about the weight off the wheels because I dont plan on racing my car I purchased the wheels strictly for aesthetics.

I also get bored very quickly with rims in general and more than likely will probably swap them out in a year or so for nicer wheels. Then I can special order exactly what I want for now these work ordered on Monday installed on Saturday. My last car that I had I had 3 sets of rims and tires in 3 years.

this is the tsw rim that a local rim shop said would fit on my car and was recommended. I didnt like the pictures they had and this confirms that the nogaro isnt as good looking as the vortex. plus the more I see chrome the more tacky I think it is. of course you like your setup so more power to you but I am glad I got to see them on the IS. vortex all the way.
