Those Vorsteiners are nice but I personally think they are bland in styling. They are certainly classy though.
Another option is the RAC Monolites.

I like those! I think you should get charcoal or graphite. Brushed aluminum will always be in style as well.
i have charcoal 19s now which i like but i feel like brushed alum is a little more classy with my color? but i dont know
what do u think??
thanks for all your help ECF!!

I personally think quality is a subjective matter. iForged is a pretty reputable brand but I really don't know how they compare to Neez.
One thing someone pointed out to me is that these iForged wheels are concave vs convex like the Neez. Does that bother you?

I prefer the concave look of the Neez and OEM 167 wheels. IMO, convex wheels like Iforged Vertex doesn't look as good.

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. The Neez is Concave meaning the the spokes concave inward towards the middle (like a cave). I generally like concaved wheels but it's all a matter of taste. I don't know how rigidity is affected either way. And if you hit a curb/pothole hard enough, any wheels will bend.

My fault for confusing ECF. I had a brain fart and couldn't remember which was concave or convex.
