Eh.. just trying to keep it simple, ordering-wise. Been hearing horror stories about accessing the Lineas.

I haven't tried contacting them yet.. still figuring things out. Just heard that customer service is a coin flip... "Horror" stories may have been a stretch. It was late, and I was fried from looking at at a crap-ton of wheels all night lol

Those look pretty nice. I'm still bouncing around style-wise... it just seems like every time I land on something really sweet, it ends up being in the higher price ranges lol.

See, that's the thing.. I love Odus' wheels. You know, a nice 5 spoke or similar. My problem is that every time I see an 18 that I really like, they're more than I want to spend. That's how I originally landed on the Lineas- I looked up O's, saw they weren't available in my size, then came across the Corse Lemans. While I really like that look as well, I'm still siding with more of a traditional spoke, I guess. I really, really like one or a few of the Niches, but 3800 is at the top of my comfort level, including tires. And that's where I'm currently at- just looking at a lot of wheels online, and trying to figure it out. Appreciate the feedback!

BC Forged anybody?

These are absolutely gorgeous, as well. Serious question, though- are they really worth $3500, and if so, why?

the 19's really aren't that bad in my opinion my style in 18's would look weird. personally i think my wheels looked better on the 1g tsx that the guy had them on before i got them.

Trying to decide between these BC Forged and Niche wheels. Still not sure if the value is there, though. And guys, please try to keep that in context.. I haven't bought aftermarket anything in like forever, and as I said before, 4k is a lotta cheddah for just wheels. I don't mind paying for quality, as long as the durability is there. What do you guys think of these wheels.. any experiences??.. Thanks again!
