i am trying to decide between these two rims. they are VERY similar but i dont know about the quality of either one. i have seen a few people run the TSW's but none with the Giovanna's. they are both similar to the RTR wheel but are available in a 20" version and staggered fitment.

if anyone has any opinions on these or knows of a better price than the $1140 listed on the wheelsnext.com site please post up.

I like the 1st ones way better than the second ones, but I'm not a big fan of the finish. I think the machined gunmetal would look awesome against that light blue paint:

I guess I'm going against what everyone else says. I like the second one. For one I like the gloss black. I always like a little shine on my wheels. With a good cleaning and some wax those things would look great night or day. And for two I really like how the lip portion on the second one is smooth. Looks a little different and really sharp.

But as someone else said I'd still go with a a polished lip. These are really reasonable and I've heard of people having good luck with them. The same style your looking at with a polished lip. Don't know if offsets work though

alright you know what you better cool it with that 2011 your making the rest of us feel bad :rlaugh:






yea I would go with the first ones! you have one nice looking ride my friend.


i'm just getting started. LOL, there is much more to come!!

Is the blower on yet???????? :).

not yet, i havent seen my car in 2 weeks now. it is still in the body shop for the damage from the tornado plus a few "extras" that have been done while it is there. the blower is completely paid off and is sitting in my parts room along with a ton of parts riding in my civic. waiting for a few goodies from lethal to show up too.

also picked up some items from the powder coater to make it stand out a little more at Mustang Week this year.

saw those and the price is great but the offset is all wrong for my car. i called and they dont have anything that will work. i'm not really worried about the cost b/c i have a buddy buying me any rims up to $1500 for installing a 03 cobra engine in his 97 GT:D
 
Yeah I am not too crazy on 3k for a set haha.

I am pretty sure there is a member with the rims you want with pictures on s197forum; I will have to try to find them and post up.

Damn, what happened? You JUST bought that ride.

I agree with the dude above, black rims are played out, and a fad that should die IMO. Wheels should be silver/satin/polished/chrome IMO.

That said, I kind of like the second option more because they have more of a concave curve to them, which I think looks nice.
