i'de say GT30 because not many people have them on the 2IS while the GT-Fs are showing up more and more

Make a poll too.

You can actually air freight them and get it in 2 weeks, but it will cost you extra $600-$800 on top of the price.

man...those GT30's on that white IS look HAWT!!!...makes the care look more aggressive...but like other ppl have said Nick...not a lot of ppl have the GT30's on their 2IS...and it seems like more and more will have the GTFs...well I would choose the GT30's if I were you...but maybe cuz I like my 08 RE30 Formula Edition rims...haha...they look similar but the GT30's are a two piece wheel, just like the GTF's...

oh nooooo.... i really don't know which one to get now /_\...
by the way, which color should i get in GT30 for black 2IS?
and what offset should i get on GT30? i want the wheels will clear BBK tho.
According to the book. GT30 has offset A +36 or offset B +34 for the 19"x8.5 and offset C +37 for 19"x9.5 for the rear.
does anyone know which offset will clear BBK? and what is the different btw offset A, B and C?
thanks
