Depends how you want your car to look. Some prefer that whole camber look, some like conservative looks.

Your car is glowing like a nuclear reactor! Damn, I wish my cinnabar looked that good.

If you like the mesh look then check out Work VS-XX

There are so many options/ opinions on wheels that this is an impossible question for anyone to answer but you. There's too many variables; style, price point, etc, etc....

Real clean looking GS by the way.

My opinion, I would go with a nice 3 piece forged wheel in a high polished finish. I personally like a classic 5 star wheel like the VIP Modular or similar, but thats just me.

I have a beautiful set of HRE's for sale that would look killer on your Cinnabar, but depends on your price point. Take a look in the classifieds to see them.

Rather see you save a lil more and get something you really like, a grand is not gonna get you far. your gonna spend close to half of that for tires.

For your budget i would keep checking the classifieds here. You can still find some great deals for the $1500 price... Just an FYI tires will run around $800 or so.. Maybe a little less or more depending on brand..
