Buy these wheels or not ???

If No, please explain why?

I like this style of wheel for the SS SC. BBS and a few other companys make wheels that give this look but this is the only one Ive found so far that comes in a 5x110. I did a PS of what the wheels may look like on the car (look at my sig). Also, if anyone know of a similar style of wheel that comes in 20" 5x110 please post it up for me, thanks.

Wheel Co. = Rial
Style = Nogaro

Multi-spoke, DTM look
1-piece cast construction
Snap-in cap
Finish: Bright Satin w/Machined Lip

Diameter: 19"x8" 5x110

$249 ea W/O tires.
25.6lbs W/O tire.

they look awesome, almost the same style as mine!! I love that PS too, I am in kuwait so I haven't even seen my wheels on my car yet, but if you could PS my wheels onto a yellow ss/sc that would be cool, mine are the exel e-22 in black. you can find picks if you do a search, that's gonna look so sick on your black ss!!!

Someone else found something I've kept a secret for awhile. I say get them because I doubt I have my car long enough to get a set.

Those don't look too bad. I'm not a fan of the faux bolts, but they are fairly subtle.

If you like them get them. **** on everyone elses opinions. The decision is ultimately yours.

This is a similar wheel to show you what you get from a bigger name co.

BBS
Size Selected: 19x8.5
Price: $1044 (each)
** Lightweight: 20.8 lbs. **

Additional Specs
Bolt Pattern: 5-120
Finish Warranty: 2 Years
Country of Origin: Japan
Construction Type: 2pc. Fully Forged

www.tirerack.com

Pretty much the BBS are 5.6lbs lighter for each wheel, BUT COST $3180 more for a set of 4 wheels.

Yes I know they do not come in 5x110, this was just to compair BBS vs Rial

So let me get this straight...$249 ea W/O wheels, 25.6lbs W/O wheels. So what are you buying? lol
They do look good, they are a bit heavy but if you're more after looks than performance from them it really shouldn't matter much.

*edit* By the way, I actually did vote no, but that's just based on my taste, I prefer simple 5 spoke designs. But this thread isn't really about my taste, and I do think for that style these wheels are a good design (if that makes sense).

Im pretty much going for looks. If was going for light weight (for racing) I'd get some 17's. I just posted up the BBS link to show you what you get from a big name co. for alot more money.

Sweet, thanks man...what does everyone else think, I mean I allready have them at the house so if no one likes it, well I guess I'm screwed, but let me know what you guys think...I didn't think they were too bling, or too aggressive, I really like them...

Their not my style of rims, but I voted yes, because you said YOU like them. I like a simple 5 or 6 spoke design with NO rivets, real rivets or fake rivets doesn't matter not my style.

I don't mean for this to sound flamish or anything, but if you like the rims, what does it matter why others don't? It is your car after all. If you like them, I say go for it.
