Your choice of wheels and why?
There are a lot of seriously hot wheels out there for our cars, but I honestly don't think there's a better looking wheel for my car then the one's I chose. it had everything I was looking for, #1. Machine Finish, #2. Polished Lip, #3 Concave #4. Only one person had them at the time I was looking at K3 Project 1 and Work wheels, but once I saw these the decision was a no brainer for me. The cars gets tons of compliments and I simply think no wheel looks better, but why did you choose your after market wheels?

i run nismo wheels cause they fit better on the base vs sports package wheels with no spacers at stock height, and light weight. i run re11's.
i also run weds when i feel like it, because they look different and light weight like the nismo wheels. i need to wrap re11's on there down the road though. |

Vossen CV2.
For pure looks and reasonable price.. Love the mesh concave look. Similar wheels did not offer the offsets I was looking for.

Like the stock nismos, but a custom set of works are a near future plan. Had some on my last Z, love works

Pf01's in 18". Not the prettiest wheels but light and strong plus wide 18" wheels look good with big brake kits filling them up.

these are my fav right now. offered in super deep concave too for certain sizes/offsets (this is normal concave) if they weren't so heavy i would jump on them tomorrow. coincidentally also fits all 4 of your criteria.

Looks good, OP. I considered these and TSW Rouen in my search but decided on Work's instead and very happy with my decision. Why did I choose them? Custom widths and offsets offered, face/disk types, colors for disk/lip, and because they're Work's of course. Quality tested, strong, reliable wheels. Outside of that, the look of the CR2P was better, in my opinion, than the options I was looking at for a reasonable price.
Finish and style of these wheels are awesome but the offsets offered by TSW aren't very aggressive and I knew I'd have to run spacers with the setup I was looking at. What specs did you choose and are you running spacers?

10.5's on all four corners. These size wheels don't fit the fronts so i had to do some tinkering because i wanted the concave that the 10.5's provided oppose to the flat faced 9.5's that would be a direct fit. I got a custom made spacer in the front to clear the brakes and 25mm spacers in the rear to get flush with 275's in the front and 285's in the rear.

Work Gnosis GS2's with a step lip, spent 3 years looking at wheels here on the forums and were my favourites followed closely by the GS4's
same reasoning you gave, my favorite wheel I had seen on any car, compliments everytime I drive it, more in the way of HOLY **** LOOK AT THOSE WHEELS, OMG THE DISH. |

Gram Lights 57DR in 18" here.... previously I run 19" Zedd CC10 and the looks great but decide to change because I love the Gram lights a lot and they are made from Rays Wheels hahaha! and for save weight too... I run sometimes time attack
BTW forgot to said that here in PR is a lot more easy to find tires for 18" than 19"wheels |

widened 350z rear track wheels because they are very light and cheap, and Forgestar F14s for the same reason. Because Racecar
both sets are currently orange, but the Rays are more black/burnt orange now. oh yeah, I also have some stupid *** motegi racing 18x9s for my rain tires, but I've never done more than test fit those
