Rim Frustration - Suggestion Help
Alright, I've been looking for a few months now and I can't figure out what rims I want to get for my car. Here is what sorta style I like for rims and what I was going to purchase and may still purchase.
I was going to go for flush, but I want to go staggered with some lip. My sizing must be Front 19x8-8.5 and Rear 19x9.5-10.
5-Zigen SC300 - Love this style and I will most likely get these "IF" they are still available as they are being phased out.
Rotiform NUE - Not going to go forged on a 9yr+ old car. The single cast don't have enough width or concave being at 19x8.5 et35
TSW Snertton - Way to many folks ride this style.
My budget for this is going to be about 300-350/rim as I drive this daily and no longer want to do it all for pure show. Not on a older car at least. Most of my funds are going into upgrading the suspension components. Coils are being made in Japan as we speak, Ordering a GenB roll center adjuster and soon to order a rear camber kit. Bushing will be upgraded and the UCA as well will be checked out for wear. Sway bar and bushings will be upgraded as well. This is where the bulk of my funds are going and why I am not going to crazy on the rim department.
Please post what you guys would suggest outside of what I have narrowed down to. I've been looking at way to many rims and there are so many choice. I might even consider picking up some WORKS on memoryfab.com

What about Linea Corse Lemans? They're basically BBS LM replicas (Mesh with rivets) and fit your bill. They come in the specs you've posted and are in the price range you requested. I have them on my wife's 2010 Forester and love them. Check out WheelDude.com for more info.

@Lextasy671 - I was actually looking at those rims and might consider them.
@VipDout - I love both rims and I can work either look as I have yet to fully style out the car. I am finding it hard to pick a rim and just wanted some suggestions based off my current style choice which is divided.
@dkhuynh - Yes and no. I personally do not pay full retail pricing whenever possible. To overspend is to not spend accordingly.

Definitely a huge consideration if I were to get Work Wheels again.
