None of them. Start from scratch and renew the agony.

Sorry, but it's up to you, no matter WHAT anyones opinion is.

1 Vote for the RTRs.

Personally as another person said, I like the plain GT 500 wheels (non powdercoated) although not the remakes so much, but rather the completely OEM ones. For me, with my black on blue look i'm thinking of going with either GT500 wheels or the new GTCS wheels, both have a gun-metal theme to them.

But out of those options, definitely the RTRs.

Check these wheels out,

Apparently you have to get the install kit with these wheels tho, as the stock lugs will not fit with these wheels (they will but you won't get the socket around them).

As I look at the replicas more I just cant seem to like them, so its either the oem GT500 rims or the RTR's. The gt500's as is (not powdercoated) are pretty nice, but I want more of a pure blue/black theme and would hate to throw another color in their. Im sure it would contrast it nice but I am not 100% sure. Right now I am 50/50 on both rims cause there are things I like about both and things I dislike.

Nuke -- I know its my decision obviously, but I am stuck between these 2 rims and would like OPINIONS not a decision based on others. Theres a difference.

Ace-- thanks for the suggestion lol but 05xrunner took the last wide rear rim.

Also if I go with the RTR's I will have to wait until march 31st when they ship out so in the meantime I will do the roush front fascia if I decide to go with them.

Thanks man and they do look great on your car, but I have never seen them in person and sometimes pictures just dont do justice for wheels. The tsw's tend to look lighter in pictures but when I saw them in person they almost looked identical to the RTR's. Right now I think I am between the RTR's and the Oem gt500s.

No the tsw rims are a totally different rim. They are the same rim that is on shaneM's car. Tsw is the company and nurburgring is the rim model. They look like the RTRs but long story short they no longer make them in 18x9.5
