3 wheels decision
#31
Would u say the quality is far better than the two companies I mentioned and also what are your thoughts on 3 piece forged vs monoblock forged. I'm not a wheel expert lol

I just know that you won't be disappointed in the quality of Volks. When I bought my set on a previous car, their quality was just awesome, from the paint to the details.
Hope this helps!

I don't think 1-piece forged wheels are more expensive than 3-piece wheels, all the opposite. Last month I was wheel-shopping and got quotes for all kind of wheels. A set of HRE monoblocks were around $1000 cheaper than their 3-piece sets.
I love monoblocks, I was close to buy this set but realized that they don't belong on an IS-F, too bad...
Volks are one of the top on my list, but some of the local brands are just as good. One thing that you can have going with a 3-piece wheel (local options) is getting a fully customized wheel, made exactly to your specs and taste.

360 FORGED...
Those guys really messed it up for those other 3 Piece Forged wheel companies...
Now people question the quality of 3 piece forged??
3 Piece forged wheels are made out of the best aluminum out there...
It all depends WHO you get it from whether you get used parts or not (a.k.a 360 Forged)

DiauR1,
Good post bro! Which have you decided on?
I bent 2 of my custom black painted stock BBS wheels (left front / right rear), going over a center embankment, after loosing control on Montague Expressway this past weekend. Had VSC fully off and went into a turn too hard and couldn't recover.
Needed new wheels to get back on the road and was considering these autocoutures:
I like the look of these on starfire. They have a similar 10 spoke look as the stockers. Most of the guys I've asked have no comment on these wheels. What do ya'll think?
Regardless, I've taken the advice of some of our senior members and ordered up a set of 20" G2s (Matte Black). Decided Volks are more authentic to the IS-F with minimal sacrifice in performance w/ their 20's. The G2s are one of the lightest 20's (approx. 24lbs) I could find as most aftermarket 20's are in the 35lbs range. Installing by the end of the week and will update with some pics.
I'm hoping the 6 spoke, 1pc monoblock design won't contradict the lines on the F. They look good on the GT-R and 370Z... We'll see soon enough.

WOO HOO!!!!
G2s ALL THE WAY!! Have considered ya'lls comments on deez mugs. Installed em', 20X9 on 245/30/20 and 20X10 on 285/25/20. SICK AS F. Makes the stockers look pedestrian and I never thought I'd say that. Prior pics do no justice for these rims whatsoever. Has definetly made my starfire F look like a race car.
To whom it may concern, If you're gettin the same application, you'll need to modify the rear fenders and your car better be lowered or it aint gonna look right.
Matte Black G2s on Starfire!! FTW!!
