Hi guys, I saw some wheels somewhere on this forum but I didn't bother to look up its name. I liked the look of them and I'm trying to find cheap-ish wheels (1000-1500 for the set?) for my IS350, 19". Lemme try to describe them.

They're straight, multispokes. They're sort of like the ones of the SLK55:

Except with lip.

They're sorta like the the axis phins: http://www.axiswheels.com/wheels/phin/phin.html except the spokes don't flare out so much (or at all) on the outer edge. Does anyone have anything for me?

the style of wheels on the benz look a lot like either the oz superturismo or the mille miglia f20. unfortunately, neither of these have any semblance of a lip.

wish i was of more help to you. good luck in your search.

Amistad Type R

definitely has the lip he's looking for, but quite a bit more money than it looks like he wants to spend.

Check out the Vellano VSP ... Click on the "gallery section" to see samples on different cars... Nice set of wheel with GREAT quality... inlike many other 3pc wheel manufactures out these days... They have great customer service also...

Alrite, since I can't seem to find any wheels with that kind of straight-multispoke look for around 1000-1500, I am going to start looking for variations of my second favorite wheel design (unless, of of course, you guys know of some other Vellano-VSP-type wheels for way, way cheaper )

So what do you think, guys? These:


Or these:

Alright, scratch my last post. I just don't like that look. I can't get over the look of those straight multispokes. So if anyone knows of any wheels that look like the Amistad Type R's but cheaper... please please let me know!

I photoshopped the wheels onto my car and... well I'm just head over heels with this look

check out this thread:

Weds WAF is the similar design for a cheaper price. HOWEVER, you can forget about the 1200 budget if you want to get into JDM market. I guess like most people are saying, you got to pay to play.

They are; sorry, I probably shoulda asked for permission first. Your car just looked so, so hot, and the lighting and angle was perfect :P Thanks for the heads up about the WEDs; do you think I absolutely have to go into JDM wheels for this style of wheel?

If you ask me, I would recommend you to save some money for JDM wheels. You got such a nice car, so don't sell yourself short. I would rather stay with OEM instead of put some cheap stuff on my car. Here are couple more similar design but without rivets:

Work Wheel

SSR:

Both Work and SSR are priced a bit more than Weds. I think Weds is the best bargain.

BTW NO problem on the photochop. It shows you how good the good quality set of wheels will look on your car! (However, your photochop make me think that you are curb rashed the wheels hahaha)

Haha, I'm very close but not touching the curb ;D I made sure of it! Thanks for all the help GSXOTIC, I guess it is time to start saving some extra cash :P

Glad that i can help. At the end, you will know you make the right decision because a good quality wheel will last a long time and you are less likely to change it (which in term save you some money). Pretty sure you know, but Derrick at D2Auto often run group buy for Work. Once you are ready you can hit him up of course. Steve at Carson is another place to go as well. Good luck and happy saving and moding......
