Talking Need your help with wheels!

Hey, So i have a 06 IS250 AWD, Crystal white. Mods i currently have are HKS Hi Power, Wrapped roof (black), Wald spoiler, and Eibach Pro-Kit. Soon to come is a full INGS +1 Kit.

Here's my question. I'm looking into rims but i cant decide what to get. Ive been looking at the XXR 527's but im not sure about the quality of the wheels since i read a post about a set of XXR's collapsing randomly on a Evo. I live in Toronto and the roads here aren't that great. I also track the car so i don't know if the xxr's will hold.

Im just seeing what you guys will suggest. I like the wedssport tc105n/ ssr type F styles of rims. I go to the track just for fun so i dont need light light wheels. I understand you get what you pay but maybe there's something out that that's cheap pretty and reliable haha

Also what offset / size (18"or19"maybe even 20" lol!) would you guys recommend for it to look flush without having to buy coils.

Thanks for reading and helping a noob out!

Im say save up for a quality set of wheel but that just me. Flush is an off set thing plus the bigger the wheel the higher the car sits on the AWD.

BTW where did you wrap your hood and price?

if u like the xxr's I recommend the Bavaria BC10's pretty similar but sexier imo. I was deciding between those and my Rohana RC10s when I was wheel shopping. Kris Becker a vendor on here is selling them you could prob get a CL discount
