Question Advice on Wheels for SGM all opinions welcome

Thanks! I was thinking they were WedsSport TC105Ns but was confused because the pics looked definately like 19s and those only come in 18s.. so add another to the list of potentials

So far I am thinking of 19:

- Works CR Kai in matt gunmetal
- WedsSport SA67R in matt gunmetal or light blue Chrome (sic!)
- XXR 522s in Chromium Black
- Linea Corse 818s in Smoked Chrome
- TSW Nurburgring gunmetal with machined fronts

Thoughts on which I should choose? I know the price range varies extensively but, purely on aesthetics with SGM, Which would you choose?

Talk amongst yourselves!

Sic! although I won't be going that low and agressive... don't want to scare my mild manner suburban neighbourhood

I will be lowering with F-sport springs which will give me a little better stance. I will want 19x8.5s as I have IS 350 AWD...


What offsets and tires are you running?

Its rubbed a lot before. The front is pulled almost an inch and the bumper tabs were shaved. The rear has the camber kit and its on the max camber. I also shaved the rear fenders.

first of all welcome to CL, i noticed it's your first post. as far as darker badges go, many members have been using something called plasti dip. its an easy way to get flat black badges without having to remove your badges or prep for paint.
personally i don't really like the flat black look, so i would just take off the badges and paint them black + a few layers of clear myself.

and for tinted tails.. i am definitely not a fan of those, but if you're looking for a route that isn't permanent i would suggest vinyl your tail lights. its not an easy job for first timers, you could attempt it or bring it to a shop.
