Ok so I have decided to finally purchase some new wheels and what a daunting task this has been. There are just toooooo many to choose from. But I think i narrowed it down to 3, just looking for your opinions and if you have pics of your ride with wheels. thanks guys and gals in advance.

Get some works and call it a day, do your suspension befor you even get wheels

Works has some nice wheels but mostly all come in 19" on their site. I'm looking for 18's MAX. Living in the East Coast can be hazardous to cars with really low profile tires. I been looking at TSW, ENKEI, and maybe the Forte. Plan on buying some Swift Coils soon as well, but didn't see the benefit of installing them first, anything I should be aware of then ?

I was between enkei ekm3 and enkei edr9, went with the edr9s, didn't like the look of the ekm3's, too many spokes for my liking

I would take the Enkei.

That was my thinking too but mostly the whole cleaning and waxing the wheel. That would take an incredible amount of time.
Yeah you and several of my friends said the same thing too. I'm digging it, just debating the whole too many spokes, because of what i said above. I had other choices but sort of narrowed it down to those but from browsing the damn net, the window is opening again..

I have gunmetal Enkei EKM3s on my car. Yeah theyre a bit of a pita to clean but it takes about 10 mins a wheel to get them OCD clean. I use them as a summer setup and wash them after I pull them off the car before storing and then wax them before putting them back on. Its not so bad waxing them when theyre not on the car. Agree w/you that its better staying with 18s where we live and theyre a couple lbs lighter than the 17" OEMs

10 mins doesn't sounds so bad, but then times that by 4, lol.. you know its taking an hour at least.
You have any pics of your ride?

Sorry no pics. My car looks basically like the pic you posted except my car is silver and lowered on Eibachs. Yeah may be spending close to an hour just on wheels but cleaning my car is like therapy. Clears my head cause it doesnt take much brain power to clean a car and I actually enjoy doing it
