I was the same when trying to decide on wheels, went through about 10 designs before finally choosing the ones I wanted... Wanting to change again now though haha.
Can't wait to see what you've gone for!

Hold that thought
So yesterday I went on to the courier's website (TNT) and arranged delivery for
Friday afternoon with the sign-my-life-away consent that they could leave them in front of my door without me being there to sign them.
So you can imagine my surprise when I got home (late) from work today and saw this:
I haven't even ordered the tyres yet! So I moved them inside, and opened one of the boxes to take a look. The wheels were well protected inside the boxes, with this protective cover in front of the wheel face:
I removed this last cover, and decided I liked what I saw
I snapped a few pics with my phone for you guys as I was feeling a bit bad after that anticlimactic first post...
My phone camera is not great and it was dark so the lighting was terrible, I'll have to get some proper pics soon. I think it's one of the rears, I hope so as it's concave enough for my liking.
The whole face is diamond turned, and even in the rubbish lighting I could see all the light rainbows dancing across it. I tried to take a photo but it doesn't show at all. I need a good camera and Achu's skills.
So there you have it. They are OEMS IFG3. I've never seen them before and can't find much about this manufacturer on the internet, their site hasn't got much info. Does anyone know if they are replicas of a well known wheel?
I decided to go for a diamond-turned finish as I think it looks great against the black paint, better than just silver painted. I've been warned about all the problems with lacquer peeling, etc. and have decided to risk it. If it starts to peel, I'll remove it completely and try to keep on top of the unlacquered metal... Let's see how it goes.
Feel free to share your honest thoughts, even if you hate them. It has occured to me that if I've never seen them before, it could be because nobody likes them...
Hell, I'm not completely sure I'll like them when they're fitted!
I'll post some more pics when I've managed to get them fitted, which will hopefully be next week. I'll use a proper camera too
