Wheel Choices: Help me decide once and for all
 

Lol, I swear I'll never talk about wheels ever again once I buy them. Out of these two choices, which do you like better?

Thanks!

BBS RN

Forgeline RB1

Are you adding a front lip? Any kits? What else do you plan on doing?

Oh and are either of them forged?

Love the RB1...
That in a 20 would be pretty nice!

The BBS RN is my choice of ALL wheels for the LS.

My vote is for the Forgeline.
Edit: In 20's.

Lol, this is the toughest choice I've had to make in a long time, considering the expense, inability to return and how it will look and ride. Once I go, I'll be stuck for as long as I own the car and/or have $$$ paper weights or resell at a loss.

And for the record, I do want "classy." Classy good looks.


Thanks for the votes and feedback! Anymore? Votes are all hidden, so vote away!

Are you planning on lowering your car?

Good question, my answer is no, stock and I don't have air.

Well, I like both of those choices (OEM is out of the question). I think the Forgeline in the 20" are nicer....but it's close. They look just a tad "classier". They'll show off your calipers nicely if you choose to paint them.

Perhaps I've missed this portion of the conversation (maybe spoken about in another thread), and if I'm rehashing here, please forgive me, but you mentioned above, something to the effect of that, once you buy these wheels, you won't be able to "go back". I'm assuming you mean back to OEM?
Why would that be?
Do you plan on having these wheels completely replace your OEM's?
If so, why do you wish to not have your OEM wheels at all?

Thanks for the votes and feedback! Keep them coming!

I can't go back from a refund perspective. I can always shove back on my OEM wheels as I'm keeping them, but my "I'm stuck" statement stems from the dollars spent. I'm stuck spending thousands lol. Big investment for me.

There's not many pictures of the late-model LS on 20s, without being lowered, but I found one. White too.

Here's my filthy car from a while ago:

Here are photos of a white F sport on 20s, not lowered. Not my taste in wheels, but provides a good perspective.

For those conservative types: does that look bad or gaudy in any way?

Honest opinions appreciated!

These look good to me. But keep in mind the F-Sports are already lower d by at least 10mm over the standard versions.

I voted for the BBS and here's why. I think they look the best on your white LS. Very clean and very classy. I really like the Forgeline as well but feel to make those wheels "work" / "pop" you'd have to get it lowered and add a spoiler or two to complete the look. That's where I'm coming from. Either choice is gonna make you happy however so that's a good thing.
