Default just got a gs350 need help picking wheels

So i just traded my 2008 is250 for a 2007 gs350 glacier frost mica...now i need wheels

here is my first choice sevas iforged r77


My second choice is this tsw valencia



I like the sevas i forged the best but they are no longer available... I have found them in HRE 591r and also Fesler makes the same wheel. Does anybody know if I can find this wheel for around
$2, 000 or at lest something similar for a decent price. I just can’t afford 4000 for a set of wheels. The TSW I have pictured above runs 300 a piece but the one I really want the "r77" $800 each: cry:.

Any help on finding something like the sevas iforged r77 for a decent price???? I ALSO ASSUME THE R77 IN THE PICTURE ARE 20'S. I'm I correct??

they look like 20s, yup.

what do you think about the move from is250 to gs350? i'm thinking of buying a 2nd car, was looking at the is350, currently have gs300 but i will pass that onto the wife.

I wouldnt use TSW.

if you want a good quality wheel, check out vossen.

the VVSCV2 is similar to the TSW wheel



or you could look at the VVS086. its not the same as the sevas but its close

Sevas look very similar to the wheels i just picked up Asanti AF146's.... Not sure if you can find them cheaper, but this gives you another option if you are looking for wheels used

Check out RufRidn's thread

100% Agree either of those Vossen are way better looking and way better quality. But since it wasnt one of the options i didnt say anything lol

1st question, You will not be unhappy with a is350, but from switching from my is250 to the gs350. At first I missed my is250 but there is so much more room in the gs350. I am liking it more and more every day. I do think my is250 looked better stock but I plan on lowering my gs350 and slapping on 20's...then I will be very satisfied with it.

Pros to the 350: better ride, more room, looks super classy when slightly lowered and new wheels, room for 2 car seats,

Pros of the is250: Better sound system or at least to my ears, better handling, more sporty look.

I really dont think you can go wrong with either one....its kinda Big brother, little brother

I agree, I have never been a chrome fan but in my searches I think for me it may look better on GFM. Or at least a polished wheel.

I do really like the vossen VVS086 it may throw that in the mix and do a search for that wheel on white or gfm

......I will look around for pricing on the Asanti AF146's you posted. They are almost exactly like the sevas.....

Thanks for all the help

Where did you get the idea Vossen are better quality than TSW?
Both are good.

TSW has been around a lot longer then Vossen, so I wouldn't down grade them. Sure their styles are not as fancy as Vossens, but I put their quality on par or above Vossen.

From experience. My best friend had a set of tremblant on his accord and two of the wheels cracked. Now idk if all of them crack like that or it just happened to be the ones my best friend owned.

In my opinion Vossen are better quality and better looking then TSW.

But to each their own.

Just cause they have been out longer doesn't necessarily mean they are better.

In my opinion you cant compare a TSW to a Vossen. At the end of the day you get what you pay for.
