Cool Rockin' Reps, :-)

so took me a week to decide on what rims i wanted to go with...

looked at ---

- ACE wheels, convex series, http://www.acealloywheel.com//images...mal/covex1.png
- Niche Forged, Spa series, 2 months back order http://mhtwheels.com/images/categori...r-Deep-200.jpg
- Rohana Wheels, RC5 series, http://rohanawheels.com/?headway-tri...=90&w=621&zc=0
- Varrstoen, Series 100 wheel

then my friend, who has a BMW 3 series said "go with never fail mesh design." So I went to my local rim guy who I've been dealing with for a few years, asked him if he can get me the mesh design wheel and he said "i can get those in two days." SOLD. put down a deposit and got them today.

yeah, ace and niche both had awesome wheels, I'm just very impatient when it comes to me putting down money and ordering and the waiting game, so when he said 2 days, i jumped on it.

OH WOW, I think if they were 20s they would be perfect... 19s still look small on the IS.

Nice wheels though!

Can you post more pics please.
