Default Your thoughts on new wheels....

Spring is fast approaching and I am considering swapping out the Iforged Classics for a set of RO_JA R2-5. Wish my photoshop skills was up to par, but alas you all will have to use your imagination. I haven't decided on silver or black. Leaning towards Black just for something different. If anyone have any pics of a black cherry GS with black rims please post. Specs: 19x8f 19x10.5r

Let me know what you all think.

Pics


And picture of the rims:

I say keep the current setup. Looks really really clean, The chrome brings out the paint more i think

as much as i'm a fan of Ro_ja wheels, i think those kinds only look great on lighter colored cars (like white).

I love your current setup. It's my dream to one day own Iforged

yea I like the iForged better. I would keep it, or go with a setup similar to what you have at the moment.


but then why get a new setup if it is going to be similar??? but I would stick with the chrome/polished wheels like what you have. I agree it looks real good with the color.

I have to agree your current set-up is way better. The black won't complement the car as well.

I think the black rim won't look good with the black cherry. Your current set-up is clean. Why change it. If you're interested in those Roja, check out Trafficstar RTS, is is similar...a silver set will look awsome on your GS. Just my opinion.

I think anything will be better than your iForged rims. Those things just make your car look so cheap...

So now that youve been convinced to sell them, how much are you asking?

Seriously, the rims you have now look great, but if your needing a change and are going to sell them, let me know as I have been eyeing your rims for a while now.
