Hello guys,

with summer around the corner (in VA, it seems like there is no spring this year..) i'm really wanting to put some mods on the car. mine is pretty much stock with a Z-tube/drop in airfilter. I'm looking for a set of rims to set the car off and need some help deciding. i have been looking around at different rims and really not looking to spend too much because 1) want some money for other mods 2) not looking to keep car forever... i'm always looking to change car.. who knows how i'll feel when the G37 comes out, right?
so with those things in mind, i'm not looking to go all out and spend big bucks on rims..but i do want a nice set to roll around in for a lil (in this case, used rims are what i'm looking for mostly, unless i can get a killer deal on a set of new ones).

please vote what you think is the best for an IP coupe? comments are welcome. if you dont like any of the listed 3, feel free to let me know what i should consider as well. obviously, Volks are great..but just little out of my price range.

the three choices are Axis Matrix, Axis Penta, and Gold SSR D5R.. i have tried my best to find the wheels on an IP G..and i hope the owners of these pix dont mind me posting it as examples..
i can't find any Gcoupe with gold D5R.. only fond bronze, but it gives you an idea. i think Gold would def. stick out alot more and looks hot.

 

these are the pentas..

 

Get what style you like but I vote for gold with a polished lip.

 

have you looked at Sevas?

 

here are the SSR D5R .. i know it's bronze on the car, but i cant find gold on any cars.. did attach a pic with gold D5R though. i think it would look pretty nice..

 

with Axis, from what i have learned, it looks like i will have to get 20's since 19s have not been perfect fit according to many..

those with Axis 20's.. are they too heavey? any problems with fitment? i'm not really looking to drop my car so..
i just dont want the handling and ride quality to suffer

 

I'll be going to the Hot Import Night car show this saturday at the Dulles Expo Center (in VA).. i'll try to get some ideas there as well. but keep the ideas and comments coming guys..

oh and for those who are going this saturday and is purchasing the tickets online, put in "hot995" as the promo code and you will save $5 on each ticket.. pretty sweet deal!

goodluck and thanks for the comments guys

 

I'm diggin the Pentas

 

of all those.. i like the pentas the most... matrix 2nd

 

i'm surprised many people voted for the SSR D5R..i thought Axis is alot more popular. i haven't really seen too many people with D5R.. and none with Gold..
if anyone does, please post..i would LOVE to see how it looks. it's a very simple but clean design. Axis is crazier but def. hot too.. so hard to decide.

anyone know much about the D5R please comment..i would like more suggestions on them.. thanks

 

^SSR is pretty popular in Japan

I was actually going to buy the Pentas but I came across with what I got right now.

 

Buy Angie's Pentas for 1850. Thats a pretty damn good price w/ tires.

 

Angie's Pentas are def. an option on my list. it's just so hard to go with these choices cuz they are all pretty good and very different in their own ways.
i really like the D5R because they are very rare..and most i have seen are always Bronze.. i think gold would be super rare but very hot on an IP!!
decisions.. decisions.. seems like no one can give me some opinions on the the SSR D5Rs at all.. are they THAT rare?

 

I'm surprised this many people voted for SSR D5R. I have tried to call various places including Tire Rack, but most of them do not carry the D5R anymore and Tired Rack is almost out of Stock. The only gold ones they have are 19x9.5..which can not fit the front.
i really like this rim especially with it been so rare and even mroe rare to find gold ones..
anyone who knows where i can get a set, please let me know!!

I'll consider all other options and Penta and Matrix are still on top of my list..

thanks
