Default 2 Rims... Your advice...?

Right now im selling my 96 Sc300 and im buying my moms 99 gs400. Im looking to get rims soon... i have narrowed it down to 2 choices.
20"x8.5 chrome Giovanna Attack 2

or
19"x8 Axis/Xenex Muse

The Attacks are about 470 per wheel and the Muse is about 330 per wheel..
The gs is a 99 Silver 400.. stock. Which would you put on..

Thanks
J

*Also if anyone has a picture of gs with either of these on it.. I would apreicate it..

Between those 2 I would go with the Muse.

I believe you can get in a black shadow color. That would be sick on a silver GS!

I'm a little biased, as you can see below

The gio's look much better in person though, but you are definitely going to need a drop after installing them, I can have pictures of mine with a drop around wednesday when I get my Espelir springs and ltuned shocks in.

Between the two, I would go wtih the Muse.

IMO, if you're willing to spend $470 per wheel, I would buy neither. (No offense for those that have the Giovanna and Axis.)

I'd go JDM style, e.g., Blitz, Racing Hart, Volk Racing.

There was a guy named gentlebouncer that used to be around, and he has the attacks on a black GS looked nice.

Since your looking at about 3200 with tires, I would def drop Brandon@tirerack and GS4will a PM, never know what else you could get, unless of course you are not open to anything other than those 2 wheels!

I would have to go with the Muse if I would have to choose between the 2. And I would go staggered if it's available. Axis makes other nice wheels also, the Super Mesh and Milano comes to mind.

Do you guys think that the Muse is getting kinda played out at all. I mean becuase they are really nice rims..and i've seen about at least 4 companies copy (ADR, ENKEI, and SPEEDY.. to name a few)



rodel:
I was planning on getting 19 Racing hart CX. but when i found out they were about 700 each.. i changed my mind....


Blue98Gs3:
How much did you pay for your gio's

Thanks

Muse.

I'd seriously consider saving for something different though.
