How about the F-Sport wheels in matte black?

Personally, I'm interested in buying the set sometime in the future perhaps.

Too many if these "best xxxx for 3IS" threads popping up.

Best is a very ambiguous word. Start with what size and brands and pick what YOU think is best. We all are not going to have the same taste in black wheels.

But.... If you were to ask MY personal favorite... TSW Nurburgring. Again, that's my personal preference.

Agreed. Bass Mech has a very nice black setup.

you know the funny part? i think the wheels look great and they only cost me 700 bucks. i can't for the life of me understand why people would pay 500-2500 a wheel.
personally i don't like the vossen wheels at all.
who wouldn't want an LFA style wheel on a car that's already full of LFA inspiration?
furthermore who wouldn't want a wheel that just fit's perfect, and has the right offset?

thoes rims will not fit the rear unless you have a high offset and some overstretched tires which really defeats the propose of wider tires in the first place.

Ok thanks for the heads up. Better to know before ordering. I noticed some members on here with 10.5 does anyone know what size tires they are running. I also will be ordering rsr downs and might consider super downs if possible around here in NY without destroying the front bumper. Also I think they might make the concave in 9.5 or 10. I have to double check otherwise I'll find a new wheel.
