Default which rim would you choose?

Here are pics of the rims I am looking at getting for my Gs and needed a little help on picking which one to get.
This one is the TSW Thruxton

I agree with kaiser, it's a luxury car and although it has dropped in price since many of us are purchasing pre-owned ones, it does not mean you can put a set of cheap rims on the car.

You are much better off purchasing a name brand set of rims used and then when you sell it, there will always be someone willing to buy it. Also the quality is better..

Trust me there are plenty of other rims that I would rather put on the car like some three piece forged rims but for three to four grand just for rims is a little out of reach for me right now. just cause i'm putting them on now doesnt mean that these are the wheels that will stay on forever but thanks for your input

i think the rims won't look right on the 1 gen gs, but thats my opinion and tsw are not that cheap of rims, they still cost some money.

Ok here is my vote. Axis Hiro's. You can get all 4 in 19" for around $1500.

My buddy has the TSW Thruxton on his T100 and the look sick, not quite sure how they would fit on a GS. I would go with the TSW Catalunya depending on the Lip on the rear!

Neither for me can't believe TSW are expensive over there they are a cheap brand over here.

Depends what look you are going for.

Nice and classy that what you need,
