I think the SSRs would definitely give you some contrast to your paint

hahah. i'm going to keep my options open on 18s. i'm not exactly in a hurry to get wheels since it's still going to snow here in michigan.

i like the AV3's for the somewhat simple white 5-spoke design. would look nice as a semi-color match to the car.

the weds and ssr's are pretty sweet. i decided to look into them since i wanted to get vs-xx's...maybe i'll look into those as well. dunno. i kinda want a conservative (sorta) looking wheel but something that not many people have.

Good luck ... I went the Route of 19s knowing I loved being low and when being on air it fits the car perfectly ..

ride quality is nice too ...
