The GFX looks good but the rims are almost the same style.

Both wheels look horriable. Best thing for red cars are generally chrome or a polished wheel or gray. Black generally never looks good , gold comes off tacky. You can also domicile matched wheels.

I personally would say no to the wheels, but that's me, if you like it, that's all that matters. The kit looks good, as for the rest of the car

it was looking good... but then the wheels

it seems like you like the 5 spoke style two tone? how about some Ordens with some custom work done on them? VIP Modular: VR03, VR08, Signature or Work Meister S1? There are a set of Scaras for sale in the classifieds.

Any of those will give you the 5 spoke multi piece style you like plus they are quality.

The second set it pretty much the same as the first set honestly.

Hmm. No offense, but it doesn't seem like the guy is looking to spend $2500-5500 on wheels alone like you suggested.

OP, I would look into companies like Rohana, Avant Garde, Varrstoen, Linea Corse, Niche, Enkei, Drag, Rota. I would specifically check out XXR as well, and MB Battles. Find a style that you like there. Those wheels are pretty affordable and can give you a nice look!

I hear ya... and i personally couldn't do that either right now. I mentioned those because in his previous post he said he has $5k to play with so why not go big.

What about Avant Garde M550s? A clean 5 spoke for the IS.

They come in Matte Gunmetal, but I can also get them in Silver




Or we can custom finish them to better suit your taste!

you've done a lot already bro... just stack up and wait for the right wheels. Usually there are great deals in the classifieds closer to the winter months. Thats when most members start changing their setups for the weather. Some decide to go a different route for the next season and will let things go cheap. It's a good time to find good deals and hoard parts so when Spring hits you'll come out nice.

but those Avant Garde M550s look nice and are affordable.
