Default New Wheels???

Since my lack of offset research and lack of 100% trueful info from Rick, I've been wanting to replace my Work wheels. I want to be able to run the wheels without spacers and clear my BBK. I've thought about just ordering a correct offset of 19x11 S1's but also thought of running something different. Here is what I'm liking. Please give your opinion.

ADVAN:
RCII (18" in Bronze)


RGII (18" in Bronze)


Gram Lights:
57 PRO (18" in Gunmetal)


PIAA:
Super Rozza (19" Any Black color; Gloss/Black-Chrome/Hyper)


Volk:
GT-V (19" in Titanium Gunmetal)


RE30 (18" in Mercury Black)


Work:
Meister S2R (18" in Burning Black)


VS-XX (19" in Burning Black)

Mmmm Advan RGII and Volk RE30s... Yum
PS, I have no idea if they will clear your BBK or not.

the Pia's will not clear your rear BBK.

I like the bronze Advans or the gold Gram Lights. Would look hot on your black car. 5-spoke FTW! Hey wait, how about Enkei RP03s?

Kinda leaning toward 19" RE30. Be cool if vendors came in here and sent me prices.

Robert, RE30 would be sick in Formula Silver! The VSXX wheels will have really small lips if you want them to fit with the BBK, and the VSXX is a wheel you will want to have large lips on IMO. My second choice would be the Gram Lights.

Are the Meister s2r still available?

I'd lean towards Advan, Gram Lights or RE30. I'll have pics of the RE30 in Formula Silver on a black car here for you in a little while.

I was wondering the same about the S2R's. I'd have to call and confirm. However, the more I look at all these pics I'm really liking the RE30's.

I'd get the RE30s or the VS-XXs in burning black.

Out of those pictures though, the PIAAs might look the best. You should post real life pics to compare.

Whatever happened with the whole Work wheels thing?

I'm not going to search for mounted pics of each wheel. I'm pretty much sold on the RE30. They come in the color & sizes I like and style. As far as the transaction regarding the Works... It wasn't my best experience. [/end subject]

Just did that so you could see them on a Z. Guess you've been there, done that.
