Default New Wheels an im the 1st to have them! what do u think?

this is a new line of wheels. sorry for the poor pic quality.(phone pic) They are Roderick Wheels. what do you think? 19x8.5 19x9.5 i really like them i will be posting better pics soon they asked me to let them photo shoot the car so when they do i will post up the pics i really like them i think they are a part of the MRR Wheels since they have MRR caps at the moment... they told me they will be giving the correct caps in two weeks... so what do you guys think?????

Not digging them. i think these 'spider' or 'mesh' designed wheels are taking the original (BBS - RS-GT & LM) design too far. I'm a HUGE fan of the original mesh design (see my Volks in signature).

All these new ones though like MMR GT1's and TSW Snettertons... the forks are too long. They bairly look like mesh wheels anymore. Kinda look like someone grew their fingernails too long and too think. Just don't think they compliment the curves/lines of the IS.

Sorry to rant in your thread, just had to get that off my back. Partly out of frustration for when searching for my wheels. I came accross way too many mesh design wheels that just didn't do it for me.

to "mdgrwl" well i like the og style mesh wheel But i happen to think that they look good on the older cars!!! but these new mesh wheels are a updated look for the current cars!!! i think the older mesh doesn't look as good as on the new cars,.. but that's just my opinion i like the new mesh designs more there og with a modern twist =]] my dad has the og BBS mesh wheels on his 91 Integra and i think they look gr8 on his car but for my ride the new mesh's looks wayyyyyyyyyy better,..=] i guess im just part of the younger generation lol hahaha

They look pretty good, just remember to wipe it down daily. But I think you should of went with 19x9 and 19x10.5.. And of course "SLAM THAT BTCHHH"!!!

I like um....they do remind me of the Gt1's. But none the less they match well with your color. I would rock um for the deal you might have gotten with them!!!
