Default Looking for suggestions on new wheels!!

Hey Guys,

Looking for your guys suggestions on what new wheels I should get for my car. Wanted to go with the F-sport wheel/F-sport BBK combo but someone's already rocking that combo in Nor Cal. Props to RSN83, your sh&t looks clean as hell man. If you want to see his set up, click here:

I was thinking of the five axis S5:F wheels but changed my mind. Here's a few pics of my SGM 2IS. I'm definitely going with 19s and no chrome.

Thanks in advance.

Dude, having F-Sport wheels and BBK combo is not copying, it's OEM!

I believe there are more than one individual with the F-Sport wheels and BBK running running around NorCal. Its such a nice and simple combo, that it would be hard not to do, if given the opportunity.

Anyways, as far as I can tell from the pics, your car looks pretty good with the G-Spiders. If I were you, I would keep the rims and save my money for something else down the road.

How about some VOLK LE37s, CNs, etc. Maybe some Works or SSR's. Like the other member said, if you do a search for rims, you'll find everything you need. Good luck.

Thanks man, I was just thinking of getting larger and wider wheels for a more flush look before getting BBK's. Thanks for the search advice, I'm gonna give that a shot.

what are you looking for?
aggressive look? fat lip?
and what's your budget?

regardless of what you get,,you'll probably find someone already rocking those sets
just look for something that you really like and get them,,who cares if others have them....

if you want something original, keep what you have and throw on a set of spacers for the front and the rear to make it sit flush, and call it a day.

that way, you can save the money you were gonna throw at a set of hellafat/hellaflush 19's on other things.
