Which wheels

I figured I'd join the club of getting everyone elses opinion on a new set of wheels. All these TSX's with bigger wheels makes me wanna step up to 19's. Can't and won't do 20, cause it only looks right to me on Trucks and SUV's.

Anyways, came across the Work Termist TM1 Reloaded

http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/tm1/tm1.html

and
soon to be released Advan RGII's. Wheel featured on the cover of this catalog from ebay (not the T7's)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6032

scroll down the page on this one.

What do you all think? This will be going on an SSM TSX.

I like the termist. I've always had a soft spot for BBS looking wheels.

are you sure those RGII wheels come in 19"? The originals only went up to 18" I think? I'm not a big fan, they're in the crowded field of 6 spoke wheels w/ the Volk TE37, SSR Comp. and original RG. I liked the original in gold and wanted those, but they're not forged are they?

As for Termist Reloaded, it sounds like a movie doesn't it? I like the mesh style, but I think I like the Volk SF-Challenge more, or actual BBS rims.

I like the Advan RGII, growing kinda tired of seeing "mesh-look" wheels everywhere

I am assuming they'll come in 19's. Usually when they release new wheels, they also provide upsized wheels as well, so keeping the fingers crossed on that one. I knew they went up to 18's before. Don't know if they're forged or not, just know they look good, which is what really matters to me... the look.

Wonder if the BBS wheels would be a better buy? I know the look is the same, and with the Work wheels, I am looking at close to 700 bucks a wheel with the Termists (yes, it sounds like a movie name )

As soon as I figure out what I want, it'll be posted for sale in the black market. I also need to get some stock rollers again while waiting on new wheels. I just sold em not too long ago.

Anyone want to let me BORROW their stock rollers for a few months?

is it just me, I don't get too excited for Work wheels. none except the emotions are popular, and the higher models are just rediculously expensive for no good reason. i don't think you could do better than the SF Challenge.
