If you had this car (MINE) and had a chance to put a set of any of these wheels which one would you go with

http://www.iforged.com/v3/wheels.php



The Formula series is made up of modular 2 and 3 piece construction alloys that are manufactured to increase the strength of the wheel while reducing the overall weight. We currently offer fourteen styles in this series. These styles are available in 18"-24" diameter sizes with widths varying from 7" to 15". These wheels are offered in a variety of widths and offsets to fit your vehicles custom needs.

The Precision series is made up of modular 2 and 3 piece construction alloys that is manufactured with Xtreme Fit Technology. All of the Precision Series wheels will yield a 1" deeper dish than the Formula Series. The flexibility of the new proprietary forging allows us to fit larger lips as well as clear larger aftermarket brake calipers.

The Racing Series consists of modular 2 piece wheels that utilize a forged center and a fully polished rim. We currently have four designs in the RS series, with new designs on the way. These race inspired designs are available in 17"-24" sizes and are offered in a variety of widths from 7" to 12", with a wide range of offsets to fit your vehicles custom needs.

The VIP Label is directed towards premium luxury and SUV applications. This series is made up of modular 2 piece and 3 piece construction alloys that are manufactured to increase the strength of the wheel while offering 5 beautiful styles with more on the way. These styles are available in 18"-24" diameter sizes with widths varying from 7" to 15".

I likes the Trials. IMO, You should spend the extra $190 to order them hubcentric too.

It means the center bore hole of the wheel will fit on the hub lip on the car. Most aftermarket wheels are not hubcentric and are made with some specific but generic size so that the wheels can be used on different cars. With these non-hubcentric wheels, you either take care and use the star method for bolting on the wheels or (better yet) use hubcentric rings. The rings are basically adapters to make the generic hole the size specific to your car.

If at all possible, I always recommend hubcentric wheels.

I have the IForged Trials (20 inch) on my 2006 GS430 and have been really happy with them. I went with these because they can give you an extra 1/2 lip on both the front and the back which give the wheel a better look IMO. Good luck.

I like imola.

BTW if you want to save some money, do a search in the wheel forum. A member is selling a brand new set for $2700 I think. He ordered it for his BMW a while ago with the old group pricing but then didn't get the wheels yet. You can choose the style, size, offsets.
