Looking into new wheels for my SGM is350. I've narrowed it down to three, which do you think will look the best?

Lexus ISP 18" $795 for 4 wheels


Work xsa-02c 19" in gunmetal $2760 for 4 wheels


Volk GTM 19" in gunmetal $2600 total

toss up between the work and the volks. Volks look like they will be a heckuva lot tougher to wash though.

I'm not a big fan of lip, but that's me...

Of the three choices, I voted for the ISP wheels.

The ISPs are crazy cheap, but theyre only 18s :X
Between the work and the volks, i like the works because theyve got a lot less rivets = easy to clean and simpler look. I think the only thing volk has going for it here is the name...

You gave the prices, but what about weight ?
I like the ISPs since they're OEM, but they're probably the heaviest.
I think weight would factor in as much as $s and looks . . .

Cool

I vote for the ISP's. Also, if you order them from Sewell and you send your old ones back they will give you $400 for them so the ISP's will only cost you $400.

is 1200 shipped for a set of ISPs with stock wheels with 5000 miles on them a good deal?
I just can't seem to justify spending so much on wheels

I voted for Work. I always wanted Work wheels, but couldn't wait for special order. Plus, Work wheels are harder to find.

Volks-->Work>-------------------ISP's; no offense to anyone, but the ISP's do the IS no justice. Go with the Volks.

I like the VOLKs, but I agree cleaning those rivets would be a PITA. I also wanted to ask you, where in CA are you looking to purchase your rims? Im looking around for a good shop with decent prices myself.
