If say get the black wheels. They'll look great and aggressive. Somewhat different also cause everyone has Vossens. Remember that with a step lip the face of the wheel is an inch smaller.

I was kind of thinking about going with the black wheels as well, especially if I go with the diffuser. I'd get it painted the same style as itzhieu did.. Though if I did that, I think I'd want to paint or vinyl wrap the roof black too. Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep em coming.

I wish I could afford higher-end wheels like SSRs or those Rotiforms in the Classifieds There's just not enough room in my disposable income budget to justify spending an extra $1200-$1500 on wheels alone. Too much other stuff going on this year lol

Just save up to get the wheels you want. Dont settle for something that isnt what you really want

well to go back to one of your options the Concept One CSL-5.5 is not bad for the price. Also got some good specs to choose from....
19x9.5 +15 +30 +36
19x10.5 +20 +42

not sure if you trying to run the same size all round or staggered.

Don't get me wrong, I really like all of these wheels, and I know I'd be happy with them. If I had the extra coin laying around I might consider the more expensive brands, but I know I'll be happy with any of these.

Since the car is AWD I might just do 19x9 all around, +36f and +15r (IF I go with the CSLs). I think I could do staggered too, but that decision deserves its own thread lol.
