Squiggy's 2012 DBP II Si Coupe

I thinks NO.

Almost $300 for a cheap cast wheel? I'm not saying it's a bad wheel but I am not a fan of TSWs unless they are a really good deal. I saw them listed between $250-300 each.

Enkei Kojins are a similar looking black 5-spoke and they are on sale in an 18x8.5 in a +40 or +45 for $225 each on vivid racing right now.

I bet you could get SSR GTV wheels for close to $300 each. Vivid has them listed at $390 each but says to call for best price. And you know SSRs and Enkei are both high quality wheels.

Upon further reading, it is called rotary forged, which is apparently a variation on flow casting resulting in some weight savings over normal casting.

Hey SquiG I'm saying the chrome because since there is none on these cars which I like, I think some on the wheel well is nice. If you like black as well why don't you find a rim with a splash of both.

I am very up in the air as to exactly what color/finish I want at the moment, but I do know I like the five spoke design. These are by far the best looking and sharpest I have found so far. The matte black ones definitely look washed out, but that could be because the rotor is not the right color.

Part of me still kind of wants white wheels...

ya but forget about that just the black chrome splash.. what do think?

I have looked at a lot of two-toned wheels (black & chrome/aluminum/polished/etc) and just haven't seen anything I really like.
 
Difficult choice. The Matt black looks better in these pictures, but the gunmetal will probably look better in person. ??? Not sure.
Can you find a real picture of either of these (side view) on the net and then get someone to photoshop them on your car. IMO, these visualization programs are fun, but the results are so unrealistic I find them hard to trust.

Here is a closer look. Still searching for other pics.

If looking for another 5 spoke wheel choice why not go with the RSX wheels (7" x 17") Great looking rim and
you can find them for $180 each.

Thought about, but there is just something about them that I just don't quite like.
 
Hmm...they look like the same ones. The body modifications on the fenders are weirding me out. Feels like someone was looking to the 350Z for some inspiration.

Major fender rolling. I think those rims are 20" or even larger.
