Vossen (a little on the heavy side but have some classy and elegant designs) if you want to floss.

Forgestar (Forged strong, lightweight and sporty designs) if you want to go the sporty route.

Your welcome.
+1 on vossen.

Thinking about saving the money and picking up a staggered set for my car in piano black.

Maybe I'll get my roof painted black too. Then I can go retrofit in some LS460 projectors and paint the headlights a dark, matte gray.

Default 19" MRR HR2 rims

I have these 19" MRR HR2 Wheels - the offset is around 35mm 40mm. These are good quality cast rims, not imitations or a made by a cheesy company, these sell for $400 per wheel - Im selling all 4 of them for $800.

Let me know if you like these clothes.....

My price range is anything under $2,000. So i can't really afford Work's or anything that's that nice. But any input would be appreciated!

I say since you atleast saved up 2gs already wait a lil longer and save a lil more buy something that you really want not because you dont wanna ride on stocks no more and look on the bright side income tax is just around the corner lol tax refund always help with whatever you need it for.

It's sitting on Tein CS with MRR HR2 but it wasnt as low as it can drop, I only had the car for a few weeks when that pic was snapped. I have since gotten some rep BBS LM's because like you said.....I need a lip!

Forgestar's arent Forged, they're cast...(minus the modular series)

The Forgestars are actually flow formed cast. The end result is much stronger than a regular cast wheel, and lighter too.

I'm not sure about the MMRs.
