Default New iForged wheels....

Im thinking about getting another set of iForged wheels and im torn between these two. I am going to go 17's up front with a 275/40 and a 18X10 out back again and run a 305/30 this time instead of a 295/35 like before. They will be with rivits and fully polished barrels... Here are the choices ive narrowed it down to.
Aero's again....


Or......... FLUX....


Heres how it looked before with 18X9 and 18X10 Aero's


Im torn... guys let me know what you think...

Kyle

The reson im leaning towards the Flux wheels is because those are what most people have and i want to be different.... Like the color of my TA you dont see it much...... Thanks for your input levi.

Aeros as well. Just looks odd with the extra spoke on the Flux. Nice car dude, I also think you should stay with 18's allaround, 17's are too small now

You want something that looks different from the Aero, yet you chose the Flux. It looks almost exactly the same. Most people will just think they are Aeros. If you really want something different, go with one of the other choices above. I like the one NA$TY-TA suggested.


I'd just stay with the Aeros you have now though.

As for 17's up front and 18's out back. You should measure the overall hight of the wheels and tires. If the front and rear end up being different heights, ABS and TCS(ASR) may not work.

I just bought a set of 18x9, and 18x10 IForged Senekas

Fully polished of course...


The Boyd Coddington Tuned wheels I currently have, are gettting shipped the hell back to them. They turned out to be junk. What a waste of time and money.

I say go for the flux

The Aero's were sold almost a year ago..... to fund my APE 370 motor..... Car is almost done and i miss the wheels..... i know all about tires sizes and ABS working and not working so no worries there guys..... Ill probably go with Senikas....... I might go 18's and 19's since the price between the 2 are so close..... well at least for me they are since im a 2nd time buyer........ Keep the input comin guys..... should i go with 17's up front and 18's out back? Or
18 all around like before??? OR
18's up front and 19's out back??? like 19X12's or something
Thanks
Levi, You say go for the Senika's ????

keep it to 18 front and back ...not enough choices in tires for the 19s, at least go 18 by 10.5 for the rear set.

I would get these to be different. I like the Aero's but are alittle plain looking. The Flux would look beter on something like a NSX

go with the Seneka's!!!

AND IN 18'S!!!

Or even these

Kyle, the Seneka's would look awesome, but I would recommend you get them chromed as they will be a biatch to keep clean. I personally think the Flux would look great. Someone mentioned the design looks like the Aero with an extra spoke....? They definitely do not look like Aero's IMO. Keep in mind custom finishes and colors if you want to take the standard iForged look and diversify on it.

Ever think of going with a nice 18" wheel all around and having a custom gold (somewhat like the BBS color) painted? The color of your car is a hard one to work with, but something like that would definitely set you apart. Just my $.02.
