Need Opinion - 18" Wheels
Been on the fence for new wheels, I am looking for something close to Stock looking. I have 16" Stock Chromes (looks like something that should go on a mini) and want to upgrade to 17" - 18" Chromes. Any advice on the AT Italia Double Face (see pic)?
Tires - heading towards Mich Pilot AS 40/255.
Any other advice would be appreciated, I am not looking for anything that would make the car look, let's say, "too flashy".

Don't buy Giovannas....cheeseball brand...buy the real deal if you like that style, the AME Modelart Excellent...
But I definitely agree about the lip...why not the something like the SSR GT3?
Or the ever popular Moda R6 (no lip)

If you don't want wheels that are too flashy then you should try these. They are 18" accessory wheels offered in Japan. Decent wheels for a decent price.

Thanks
Thanks for the luv, Sic.
And thanks you guys for replying.
Yeah, I like the lip but the Giovanna are busy. I like the SSR GT3's and I have dug into those that TLEX posted from Japan. They are made there but according the the Ebay seller they are painted chrome, not chrome processed - you can get the 18's in chrome as well, I like the look clsoe to OEM.
I also like the lsportsline (see pic), yes/no?
Hey, Sic, any good local ATL locations to shop at?
