The picture keeps changing because I linked from someone's server. I was basically trying to show a Regal Blue Legacy GT with 18" D-Power TS05s.

They look OK, you could probably find a better looking wheel but they are better then stock.

What I don't get is that everyone sweats Rota Torques. I thought more people would like these.

Should I? Your thoughts?? I had them on my RS, and I always loved them. Should I think about these for my new LGTL?

Vote yes or no!

Not bad. They need more of a meaty tire because i think that is what is throwing my eye off. They actually look like the wheels that come on the newer G35 coupes.

Its not the fact that they are Rotas that makes them look so-so, its the fact that, IMHO, there isnt enough spoke there to make it look balanced. Personally, I'd go with something with more spokes or a thicker spoke.

They're not Rotas. They're D-Power TS05s. They just look kinda like Rota Torques - but Rota only makes the Torques in 17".

I agree...they look good, I like the finish, but they could use some more tire.

DO you know what the Torque looks like? Because that doesn't look like the Torque. The Torque has 10 spokes, not 5.

And if you want the look of the torque in 18", you could always go for the Work Emotion, which is the design the Torque is based off of.

Personally, I don't care for the design of this wheel, esp. on a Legacy.

What about Advan RC-IIs?

What picture are you looking at. This has 10 spokes and is virtually the same design as the Torques..... :confused:

i.e. the rims on the above car look just like Torques.

pwned by the hotlink. :lol:

EDIT: found a pic on the web...the TS05 looks just like the Torque/Emotion.

I've got Emotions on my car, and I think they look great.

The offset looks a little low, however (18x7.5 +45), and I'm not a big fan of 10-hole wheels.
