Default I cant decide! Pictures inside!

Please help me make my decision on the rims.

1. R07 Variant S (gunmetal finish)



2. BBS RSGT (finish as shown)

I believe everyone knows what BBS RsGT looks like and I have seen it on a white 2IS before I believe.

3.WORK VS-KF





I have a crystal white 2IS and would love to hear your opinions! They are all beutiful rims. I was stuck between the DPE and the BBS but then I saw Work rims while surfing the net and i thought it looked great! Also, please share your experience with any of these rims(reliability, durability, etc). Also, if you can recommend me what size/offset and a store that I could buy any of those rims at a low price, I will be greatly thankful.

Cool

Here's my two cents.........

I like the #1's in the gunmetal. Haven't seen any of those, more unique.

We see a lot of the #2's. Old news

#3's are okay.

Out of those 3, my first choice would be the BBS wheels. Yeah, they're probably the most common of the 3 on the street, but you really can't go wrong with those.

i'd choose bbs followed by dpe at a very close second. not really feeling the work rims. the dpe looks just like the iforged daytonas... or is it the other way around heh.

RS-GT...forget about who has them...they are classy-hot and will be for many years. I am biased as I want them and only them. I will put them on the IS500 when I trade or get them later. 19'' 8.5/9.5 +38, +45 $3900 shipped wheelenhancement.com

R05 Variant...someone has white IS with these within wheel thread. I overlooked when I first saw them but..they have really grown on me. Rivets/Lippage/Variant design is showstoppin!

Work just are a step or two down. I just do not like em...in this comparison anyways.

thanks guys! Yes, sorry that was a typo it is R07 I believe! ahha i was wondering why everyone was typing what I did not have up there. My mistake! I do love the BBS as well as the DPE. The work rims do look great and unique but I do not know how it will look on a 2IS. Spending 4000 on rims is ridiculous but what can you say...Also, does anyone know the durability of DPE rims compared to BBS? I love both but in a diffferent way and was wondering if that will be a determining factor. Thank you all for the replies!
