enkei wheel choices and opinions help
Decided to do enkei wheels as the styles and prices fit my taste, budget and daily diving lifestyle (where a few nicks here and there naturally occur over time).
Also decided to retain stock tires and get 18s with possibly a little more width but definitely a lower offset front and rear to fill wheel gap.
Also intending on doing mild drop (half downs or h tech) after wheels.
Looking for opinions from those who have 18 inch enkei on their 3IS or have seen a 3IS with 18 inch enkei or have had enkei in the past.
What I'm looking for are just general opinions as to model and color you guys think fits the car well. It will ultimately be my decision but wanted to hear from others as well.
Right now I like the raijin and lusso and rpf1, but like a lot of others as well. Also looking for ballpark numbers for good solid reliable offsets fo r stock tires with mild drop on 8 inch wheel in front and 8.5 or 9 inch wheel in rear.
Hard to tell what will look "class and aggressive" on this car and not cheap and too tunerish from internet pictures.
Thanks for the help!

The Raijin's were absolutely great on my car, I wish I hadn't sold them and kept them around for switching out the wheels again later. A great lightweight wheel with a stylish appearance, it was form and function.
I know it sounds tacky, but I'll just go to tirerack and get ideas like that with the car view option. I'll even screenshot it on the computer and select the car without the wheels and move the selected region down to emulate what a drop would look in photoshop. Whatever works.
