Post Do u guys like these wheels? (pic)

I'm getting wheels for my 1st Gen hopefully soon. I like 18s in silver or polished. Are these good quality? They're pretty cheap.

I think your right. It's gonna take me time to save enough money but I think its worth the wait. I want them before summer. I also want a nice set of tires. I like the Yokohama
AVS Sports. Real nice, a little racy, but nice.

Save up your money and go for the Lowenharts. The worst thing you could do is buy a set of rims and regret it later.

Lexus_IS300, wow 7500 miles? That's it? What other kind of tires are good. How about Pirelli PZeros?

behnam, Thanks. The top wheel is a Giovanna Kyoto and the second pic is a Lowenhart BR5. I'm gonna go with the Lowenharts even though I'll have to wait longer, I think they're worth the wait.

dont get p7000, go for pzeros, theyre a little bit louder though. but if you guys are planning to abuse these tires, save some money and go for the ecsta 712. i love the Yoko though, i've gone through 2sets on the NSX, and i bought this car only a couple of months ago . i would also check out the Toyo t1 and ra

My friend those Kyotos on his Infiniti and he liked them. I'm probably gonna get the Lowenharts, though. Also, can you please photoshop them on my car? Here is the only pic I have, its kind of crappy:

96TL, if you're serious about the Lowenharts, what do you think between these three?







And, if you have the cash, you might want to drool at these :



My favorites are the Lowenhart BSDs (the first image in this post), then the Agle Minervas (the last image in this post). The 19" BSDs were $1300 more than the 19" Alstadt IVs I ordered... I might have been able to swing the BSDs but then I would be unable to buy rubber for them for a looong time.

Nate, I like the BR5s the best. The BSDs are really nice, but they cost even more and I still have to save money so I'm gonna go with the BR5s which are a little more reasonable. Thanks for the pics.

96TL, I like the BR-5's too. I called DAZZMOTORSPORTS and they quoted me the following price:

18x7.5 silver $700 each
chrome $900 each

Ouch!

I like the BSDs alot, but I don't know how chrome would look on my car. I know I'm safe with the BR5s. I don't know which yet. It's a 1 shot deal for me. I better like the wheels I buy because I'll be stuck with them for a while.

I'm in love with the BSDs (though the Minervas were my first love BTW ballxnxparlay, 70,000 yen for 18" Minervas)... of course if you got the BR5s you could get super crystal lugs on 'em!
