Buying wheels not sure which ones
So i'm looking at 19' I have stock springs as houston road sucks and I don't want to scratch.
My budget is roughly 1500-1800 for wheels as I'd need new tires as well. Looking at 5/6 spoke. The car is suppose to be my daily so nothing too crazy but head turning is good
I might eventually get the F Sport Springs when it comes out so i hope the wheels work without rubbing.
My car's color is nebula grey, anyone have any suggestions? Vossen is out of question as they're too expensive for my budget, don't want to drop 2.5-3 grand on just wheels.

When I was shopping around for wheels, I was looking at quite a few before my final decision. Browse the Classifieds to see what is out there already, and get an idea of which direction wheels you want. It's all personal taste. I can tell you, I was looking at that same price range and I was considering:
BBS SR's (Anthracite) $375/wheel
O.Z. Superturismo GT (Matte Grey) $350/wheel
O.Z. Superturismo LM (Matte Graphite Silver) $390/wheel
Enkei Raijin (Hyper Silver) $280/wheel
SSR GTV01 GTV02 GTV03 $470/wheel
Those were some I researched a lot on and I found complimented the car and the direction I was going for. Get an idea, and go from there. Good luck on your wheel hunt!

So
So Im figure I'm gonna go with Velgen 19 but I'm not sure if it'll rub on stock spring/shock and if I add spacer would it run? What type of tires and specs would you guys recommend? I don't want the tires to be too squeezed as this is my DD I need functional more than looks.

Here are a few pictures of an IS 250 F-Sport on VMB5s 19x9 & 19x10.5. It is lowered on RSR downs and does not rub. Also no spacers are on the car

ok
http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/wh...tion=F%20Sport
Size: Front 19x9, Rear 19x9.5
Tires: FALKEN AZENIS PT722
245/35/19, 275/30/19
Are these pretty solid for a DD, i'm looking for safety/function/endurance for DD not crazy stance or w/e.
Let me know what you guys think? I didn't know the VMB5 came rare 9.5? is this for my car?

On that note alone I don't care about the quality of them or price of them at that point. They are no different in my eyes than "common" factory rims.
