Random question but why is it that many people here go with G-Spiders and Tourmalines, and not something else? I think they both look great, just wondering.

My bet would be because they're OEM!

because they are affordable and look better than the stock ones. most people got them under $1000 brand new.
If they cost $2000 at least, I doubt how many people will buy them.

I'm sure the cost does play a big role too! For me I personally liked the idea of keeping OEM wheels on the car, but if I had found a wheel that I thought just really was worth the extra 1 to 2 grand I certainly would have paid it.

I'm the guy that thinks less is more!

Yeah I've seen the painted and PlastiDip ones. I had the BP on my IS and really liked the finish.

Wow, if I bought it outright, I would get the G's. I bought the Tours w/ the tires from a member here who has since disappeared...
