Looks too similar to the OEM rims. Does not come in 20".

I think that if you got the G-Spyders why bother in buying a wheel that looks really similar to the 18" OEM wheel. I think that if you want to get a different set of wheels, you should go with something a little different or keep the G-Spyders, or trade them for the 18" OEMs.

The wheel looks good, it's just that it has the same design as the OEM.

They both look exactly the same so I was just wondering what you guy think of this. I wasn't trying to pull anything.

I really like my stock 18's but 19's look that much better. Then you can drop it nicely to get the sportier ride and eat that wheel gap.

It does look like the OEM, but to have OEM in 19'' staggered setup is hot! If this wheel was stock in 19'', i might be out of the market for my Volks. Also depends on price of the wheel. The fact that it does look so similar, you might not get the looks you might get from a certain different wheel. So it's really all about what you want pimpdaddy?

To be honest if ya, if you buy this rim you might as well keep your OEM on your ride, it's WAY too simular except it has sharper lines, but if thats what you want it's your car so GO FOR IT! :-D

I emailed two shops overseas (including the one in the original link) about this wheel. OEM look in a 19" with aggressive offset would be a very nice sleeper look. I'm a bit concerned about the quality though...Manaray isn't known for building strong wheels.
