They're both pretty sick! It kinda depends on the color of your ride too though. Without knowing that, I think I like the GT-1, as long as the rim is high polish.

Actually... the GT-1 in chrome would be my pick!!

AME/Fab/JP *scaras*/Wald/Weds/Work/Volk wheels are the only thing i'd ever consider for my car, the only MMR wheel would be the HR3.

I would get the Linea Corsa if they're 19's. BBS LM design doesn't have the spokes extended all the way to the lip, 18's will look tiny on a 2IS.

Out of your choices I would pick the MSR (assuming they have the same strength and quality as the MRR), they look cleaner (not a fan of complicated spokes) and a lot cheaper, you can use the money saved to get better tires or other mods, $130x4=$520!! Use the money to get a Tanabe exhaust!!

Not a huge fan of either, but if you put a gun to my head, MSR.

Since we're not a fan of the same stuff design wise I'm not recommending another wheel (I like no lip, less spokes).
