Default Need suggestions on wheels.

Oh boy, do I have LOTs of questions! Where to start?

I'm not into chrome rims, but what i do like are rims that have a polished look to them, like my IS300's graphite polished look. I'll try to post them tomorrow.

I also like (not the style but) this finish (similar to graphite polished) :



I plan to get some nice drilled/slotted rotors, so I need something that won't cover it. This is THEE most BAD *** SC I've ever seen!:



But...those rims are WAY too expensive (for me).

I like deep dish rims, graphite polished (I think "black chrome" is what I am looking for).

Can anybody direct me to some good online dealers (or brick & mortar stores in the OC so I can see the difference in person what "black chrome" , "Machined" and "Machined Polished" looks like)?

Thanks amigos.

I'd reccommend looking into some wheels from SSR. They have quite a nice line-up and offer a finish that's called 'Super Black Coat' which has that polished black/graphite you're looking for.

Cool! I love the finish of these:



It's the "polished" finish. Almost looks like Titanium.

Dude, I wish i could get them. Well I could, but up untill last month I told myself I was going to keep the IS300 forever and only buy cheap daily beater cars.

I just moved from NJ to CA last year and I guess it's true out here: "Image is everything!"
I hope I don't change too much!!

Try TireRack, great prices and selection.

How 'bout these?






BTW, how much are you willing to spend? I had my SSRs custom powdercoated, so that is an option to you if you found some nice rims but wanted it a certain color...

Woa! The second one is 1 of the 5 I have book marked!

It's also around my price range. I'm just not really sure what they look like. The photo looks like CGI

Here are the other 4:

But these don't come in any finish I like (just crhome & black):



I'm kinda ok with the 2-tone:


And iffffffffffff I win the lottery

Just added this to the list.

I "think" this may be like the graphite polished I'm looking for.
