Default Does anyone know what kind of rims these are?

Found this ISF on autotrader and was wondering what kind of wheels these are. I’m not really a fan of the spoke design. Anybody recognize them? These are the best pics I could get.

Dude for real. After a long search last night, I finally found that they are TSW Circuit wheels. Now I roughly know what I can sell them for if I were to get the car.

It seems like the ISFs without oem wheels don’t sell as well.

Everyone wants to buy the completely stock, unmodified, unmolested, driven by a slow elderly person IS F for a basement low price. Then they want to mod the crap out of it right away. It makes me laugh all the time.

Same here. Especially the I need a stock car to mod, part. I get not buying a big turbo molested car... but a minor bolt on V8?

I bought a modified ISF, from someone with severe OCD. He had it regularly professionally detailed, all work done at dealer, and kept it under a cover in her garage.

Dont dismiss the modded cars. He took way better care of the car than Even I would have. In contrast, many elderly people constantly bump Into stuff in their cars, and sometimes don’t change oil regularly.

Old driver does not mean good care.

I am one of those people.... My issue with modified cars (obviously there are exceptions to that rule) is that fitment of most aftermarket parts (cosmetic mods) is not great, and majority of the people who do cosmetic mods are fairly young guys. Every used car that I ever found with mods had some fitment issues either with add on pieces, or the quality of them was subpar.

I like modifying cars but at 40 my days of 2" drops, big exhaust tips, and aftermarket diffusers are long gone. My 5-series is modified but I picked the mods.

I purchased my 535 from a retired realtor, and besides a few scratches on the front bumper from parking lot mishaps, car was in amazing condition. One-owner, and besides carpet stains, and chips and crackers there wasn't any excessive wear. I am planning on doing a full paint corrections in the next coming days and I have no doubt in my mind when I do decide to sell it I will get top dollar for it.

So, if the mods are subtle, and car is adult owned with service records I would definitely consider purchasing it. But alot of mods, too many owners, and no service records are a no-go for me.

Hey give us some credit, it only took me 16 months to find one that was completely stock. I still haven't touched anything, but admittedly the possibility of more power with this platform is really hard to resist.
