Lightbulb Have a little extra money...

platform: 2006 IS250, Blue Onyx Pearl.

I just sold my rims today, looking to get a new set. a Couple of questions for you guys.

What are you suggestions on rims for a budget conscious person. Its a daily driven car. Im looking to stay in the 19 inch range. my last set was 19 x 8.5/9.5 +35 all around, 225/35/19 & 245/35/19

ALSO

What have you guys heard about these? http://www.meganracing.com/product_page.asp?catid=86, i was leaning towards this set.

Thanks!

What's your price range for wheels and tires?

And I just had Megan EZ's installed a couple weeks ago, love them so far, haven't ever really seen any complaints about them. They are noticeably more comfortable than a drop on Tein S-tech springs I previously had.

You can get something like the Linea Corse wheels if your on a budge and want decent wheels. A lot of people here on CL have them or have had them. A lot of people have the Megan EZ's too, they are a great entry level coilover... you really can't beat the price.

Rims, I would like to stay under 2K, nothing special about my car.

I think I'm gonna buy the EZ coils, price point really caught my eye but just didn't know the quality of them since they're so "affordable"

I am starting to like the concave look but the pricing on them are high.

Megan EZ's are nice. Try looking at the newer Vossen concave wheels.

I daily my car too, but decided to go for a more aggressive setup. I believe Linea Corse and Varstoen are your best bet.

What are your offsets? I like the Linea Corse LC818.

I'm not sure, I'm gonna call the MHT distributor here in Dallas tomorrow and get a quote.

They caught my eye immediately.

I'm guessing they're not a big name like vossen or work or any other name that a lot of people know but they look nice.
