Default Wheels


What do you guys think? Running these on the '06 white IS250...I'll be getting a 15% tint this weekend hopefully, and hopefully smoking/redding out my tail-lights at the same time.
Yay or nay?

They look like a knockoff of the Volk SF-Winning, but hey, whatever floats your boat...

Looks alright to me, go for it. Too many people around here think a wheel has to be multi-piece to get any respect. The purpose of the multi-piece wheel is to get something strong and as light as possible. Those Asa's don't look very heavy to me. I have Sevas wheels on my GS. They are pretty light (24 lbs) and very strong and they look good. Why buy spend more than necessary. Most muti-piece wheels look way better than 1 piece but not all the time.
Get what you want and don't let people play you.

haha, criticism taken! but none the less, I'm open for suggestions. I'm looking for black wheels, preferably 19s. I've always wanted new wheels, and I'll be getting a summer job at the end of may, so why not have something to strive for?!
Keep in mind, I'm pretty young, so I won't be coughing up a grand a piece for some BBS rims...though I'd like to be able to..

How is the purpose of a multi-piece wheel to save weight when it's heavier than a one piece wheel What the wheel is made of should be taken into consideration if weight and strength are really factors. Forged wheels are lighter and stronger than cast wheels at the expense of a higher price, so in a sense you really are getting what you pay for.

I think they look great...it would also help if we knew what color your car is...but if you like them that should be all that matters. What I have on my car didn't cost that much and people tell me all they time they are cheap and do not look good. I like them and that is all that matters.
