having a hard time with wheels
alright guys i need hear your opinions. it's been like a month already and i still cant decide on what wheels to get. 1. (axis - hiros), 2. (r-1 racing - drift), 3. (falken - koblenz black)

Drift rims look sharp and interesting, a little bling-bling too, those would be my first choice!
The hiros are nice as well but too simple and almost bland IMHO, they will look beefier and larger though what with wide straight spokes, so that's a plus!
Darker rims looks great on WDP in general so definitely go for gun metal and such but not black.
Good luck!

I am keeping my options WIDE open this time on my next set of wheels.
What I get next I won't sell for at least a year.
Anyway, if my car was your color, I would highly consider that exact wheel, really looks HOT in those pics.
1 of the Best looking TL's Period IMO

those 30mm netz are an 8" rim so u can get away with running them at 30mm. i think the axis rims come in 8.5" so u wanna run more of a 40mm offset (a 40mm on a 8.5" rim is the equivalent of a 34mm on an 8" rim...it'll keep u from rubbin).
edit: well u can run a 35mm on an 8.5" rim but u gotta be careful what kinda tires u use. it all depends how low you're dropped.

That Volk wheel is starting to look REAL GOOD.
Volk GT-C, GT-S, GT-V, and SF Winning are my choices from Volk.

Thank you everyone for your generous comments. Sorry for the late gratitude, been a little busy, cuz my ride is at GReddy right now, they are building the prototype catback exhaust for our 3G TL. But I got 35+ Offset due to my Brembo fronts and I love the way staggered looks but it was just inpractical, can't rotate, front wheel drive, etc. But the AM TL with Volk is the OG, i remembered that i wanted my ride to look like that, but decided to go with Axis. Thanks again guys! Can't go wrong with Axis, price is reasonable, fitment variety is good, strong and most importantly, looks great!
