Primarily yes, for now at least. I do have the autobahn + fabulous kit, so just looking to complete the package. Performance wise, lots of stuff coming in the near months.

I have the 721's on the wife's IS250. They are amazing looking wheels. Almost wish I would have gotten them for the RX8.

Was never into the 3 spoke look, some cars can pull em off but for everyday i think they are kinda odd.

I personally like the 721s

721's Not too crazy about the 3 star look. Either its pulled off real well, 'jdm' look, or its looks like it should be on a 1987 Maxima with purple tinted windows that are fading, lol....get the picture?

The three spokes have been really growing on me. At this point that's what I'll probably choose. I'll try to take some shots of the car at the same angle and maybe ask for a photoshop. As far as the specs, they would be 19x10 all the way around. Offset shoud work at +44. I know the rear is fine but am kinda worried about the front. In a worst case scenario it should only be a mild to medium fender roll. Tires 275/30/19.
