Default Did somebody say JP Scaras? or Vienna? or Rezax?

I went shopping today and look what I found... I'm thinking about buying these wheels. The offset and widths are ridiculous.. so I'm not sure if I'm going to jump on them or not.

The thing is, the front is 18x10.5 (unkown offset) and the rear is 18x12 +6. The price is ridiculous at $2500 without tires, but the center caps condition aren't the greatest unfortunately. I'm also not sure about having a step lip in the front and non-step in the rear. The process of fitting these will also be quite interesting, but I wouldn't mind getting that done.




Option 2! I went to another shop and found some Speedstar Viennas.18x9 and 18x10, condition is great. only has a few nicks here especially of the wheel I took a picture of. Other than that the wheels are pretty mint. The price is more than half of the Scara's at $1100 without tires. So if I calculate the price of tires, I might aswell go for the Scaras...



then I saw these...






Work Rezax...18x9 and 18x10 I always had a soft spot for these wheels, but I'm not sure if it's the style I want to go for on my car. Price is pretty good at $1900, the wheels are mint with a few nicks, but the chrome on the rear tires are starting to show it's age. These also come with practically new Toyo T1R's in the rear and practically new Nankang NS-II in the front. I'm pretty much stuck here.

Input guys? My budget is basically at $2500, if I had the money I'd buy them all but that's not the case so.. CL share your input....

I'd go with the rezax. The Jp wheels are going to stick out a LOT in the rear.

I like them in this order Jp Scara, Rezax, then Speedstar. But if you think the Scaras are going to be too much work go for the Rezax.

Rezax. The Scaras will look off with the smooth/step lip.

Rezax. ^^Like Dv8 said the Scaras look funny with the step lip in front, and smooth in the rear. The Vienna's have been a bit over done IMO and remind me of AMG wheels, which arent bad on a GS or LS. The Rezax on the other hand look good, have a good balance of show and sport design, and arent very common.

Based on looks alone, I'd go with the JP Scaras. They are really nice looking wheels. But that wheel size will be really tricky on a stock bodied SC.

Though I'm partial to the Vienna design, they are not in "good condition". Look at the curb rash :facepalm:

the best out of all three are the Rezax.

Those JPs will look like pure *** on an SC.

My vote is the rezax hands down
