Default which of these rims

ok I know that TSW isnt some big name brand like wald work or hre but I really like the no lip, 5 spoke style. disregard my previous delusional posts about way expensive rims I cant afford. which of these rims looks better on an IS... note the slot is shown in chrome. no way I am getting chrome and its available in silver like the vortex is.

I can't decide...they both look similar to me so I think either one would look good. I think the 2nd one will look more aggressive and stand out more while the first one is more subtle.

Of the 2 I'd vote for the 1st ones - don't like the rivets or whatever they are on number 2.

The first one has a clean simple design that complements the design of the IS.

The second one has too much going on and will distract people's attention from the car to the wheels.

Personally, I think you should find the 1st wheel with seven spokes, as most five-spoke wheels look like ceiling fans to me... IMHO...

yeah I googled both rims and saw '1' on an 06 civic in 19 inches and it was gorgeous. then I did the same and saw '2' on a volvo and a truck. yow they were bad. going with number 1.

I don't like either, but since you asked...go with the Vortex.

Talking

#1 looks more classy. #2 looks like it is decorated for Halloween...spider webs or bat wings.
