If you like black wheels on a black car, I think those are pretty sweet. i think the red accent makes them very distinctive without being too much!

The accent red is too distracting. It's a nice touch, but too assymetrical.

Thats not an accent. You program it and it displays messages and pictures when your driving.

I like the TSW Catalunya's more, they look nicer & suits the car better IMHO

I don't really like either of these wheels, but the TSWs look better of the 2. Here is the first wheel for the people who don't want to click the link:

Davin Wheels = Waste of hard earned $$.. They are produced like every other Forged wheel, yet seem to charge much much more. Yuck...The Donz have a new line of wheels that have Stainless Steel lips that look chrome..so nice!

I absolutely love that wheel. I would have bought those if I could have got them for the same price as my volks. I LOVE THOSE WHEELS, but the are MUCHO $$$$$.

The Davins are pretty cool, but IMO over priced. For that much you could get some nice WORK Wheels

I'd love to see a nice set of VS-XX on a 2IS
