On a budget OR have no desire to blow $3-$4K on rims & tires:

Linea Corse Dyna
5 Axis S5:F
+1 on the budget wheels choices

[QUOTE=Kurtz;4623694]Personally I hate these wires-all-over-the-place rims.

I'm still looking for a nice, _clean_ (ie no goofy looking rivets all around it), 5-spoke wheel that's as lightweight as possible and looks good on the 2IS.

Enkei RP03 is probably the best I've seen so far, but 5-spokes are so few and far between I haven't seen a lot to pick from either.[/QUOTE

Check out the Advan Model 5. Old school split 5 spoke design. IMO a classic rim up their with TE37's and Emotion CR Kai's.

The Volk Progressiv ME look just amazing to me, especially on darker versions (SGM)

^^ Vossen, if you want to be in the top 5 for ISx50 wheels, I HIGHLY suggest you start making 19's. A lot of people (myself included) feel that 20's are too big for this car!

If you made all your wheels in 19's I GUARANTEE YOU you would have more sales!

I agree. My selected 19's for my IS350 for a decent ride/handling combo.
