Default What does everyone think of these wheels on a black 3gs?

I saw these wheels (the first ones) in person the other day and they looked super nice! I asked the guy where he got them and he said ebay.

Well I looked them up and Im not gonna lie, for what they cost, I would consider them. For $2500 wheels and tires it seems like a steal!

Has anyone heard of vertini? I think they are a new company. Does anyone on here have these? What style would look better on a black 3gs?





Id still prefer to get multipiece wheels like a nice used set of iforged's or something similar but nothing seems to be out there right now. If anyone is selling something like that hit me up!

I was looking at those wheels too (top one).. someone else asked to have these photoshopped on a 3GS... let me see if I can find it. I think at one point someone had them on a 2GS who was selling them in the classifieds

gotta do the suspension first.....cant stand the 4x4 look

Yes.. suspension first! Stock wheels look pretty good on a dropped car. What type of coils are you getting? I heard Tein CST are 4-6 weeks back order

theres a set of lightly used tein ss in the classifieds........planning on doing some research tomorrow

i looked up coils for the 06 gs430 on ebay just to see what came up and there are a bunch of brands on there....

have you heard anything about megan racing, nex, ksport or d2? anyone running these?

i think i made a thread about some of these more economical choices a while back and nobody responded...that was a while ago though.....

i know the tein cst's are the popular choice on these boards but are they really worth twice the cost? these other brands go for $800-1000

might be time to start another thread?

Thats why I backed out too.. design looks good but didn't know too much about the brand and the quality.
