Personally not into any of them but if I had to choose one solely for the looks, it would be the first one

2 grand for wheels, or wheels and tires?

I would say save up another grand and buy the wheels on my car right now.

I agree with others here, if I had to pick one, it would be the first one. It really comes down to what you personally like. Do you prefer 5 spoke, 8 or even 10 etc...... The wheels I have I got for a little over 2k with Bridgestone tires. or like MrMark said save up a little more.
Good luck I was in your shoes just a few months back.

I kinda like the last one.. 5 spoke. But would be nice if u have a nice 'brake' inside to show too cause u see the 'brake' is very visible.

MrMark, need pic / link or what u said is pointless.

honsetly is personal preference.

In my opinon I dont like a rim that shows off the brakes too much unless you got nice *** upgraded brakes. showing off your stock calipers is sorta lame in my opinion..

look how much the front caliper is showing.

so I tend to look for stuff with more spokes to hide the calipers because i will never put a big brake kit on my car.

up to you what style you like bro, get the price with tires, get the price of the lexani with tires, look at your budget, how much $ you want to spend. personally i like the lexanis and vossen. i like certain styles of each brand. I also like to have something with a big lip in the rear.
