Default AWESOME New rim from Vellano

Hey CL:

I have an 06 IS350 sport that I am going to add the TEIN CS package to and I would like your help deciding between two rims. I could only figure out how to load one image instead of both so I will have to describe image two. It is the EXACT same rim except the areas that are black in this picture are brushed instead.

This is an awesome 3 piece rim in both 19 and 20" sizes. I can get almost any offset I want as a custom order which will help after reading all the rims and tire threads you all have posted. THANK YOU for your input.

http://vellanowheels.com/collection/VSF/vsf.htm if you want to see both versions.

Brushed all the way! They will flow way better with your car color than the black ones but its your car so whatever you prefer its you choice.

Ps. Great Rims! Show us Picsss after install.

I vote for brushed as well. Black faced wheels look best on black cars. Brushed has that quality look and matches every color car.

Brushed FTW, most classy and expensive type of wheels.

I voted brushed as well. The chrome/black combo face looks a bit odd. I ran black faced rims on my white car myself and love them, but this black face combo doesn't look right too me.

Thanks for all the input. I am leaning towards the BRUSHED version too but my buddy has a G35 totally tricked out and he has black inserts with Chrome lips and it does look sweet. I will most likely stay with the brushed. When I get them, I will post pictures for you all. I will also post price when I am done.
