Default wheel color/style for pearl gs300

Im looking for suggestions/pics on what looks sharp on a pearl gs300, my preference is for a silver, or painted center with polished lip. i dont like the all chrome look. Maybe a polished aluminum or machined center may work also. Oh yeah....most likely will be 18's...slim chance of going to 19's...but the roads are wicked around here...pot hole heaven...lol

The 20" Axis MOD's look good. Of course I am a little bias as I have them on my ride.

First off what's your budget?
Then what do you prefer: 5 stars/spokes, 6, 7,9 spokes? Mesh? Bicycle wheels-mulit spoke
Big lip, no lip........?
If you can narrow it down a little it might be a tad easier

DOH!!!...well my budget is 2000 tops w/tires. I like 5 spokes, and i also like the multi-spokes ie 6,7,9 spokes. Mesh is a possibility, and damnit...they gotta have lips...i like that look. Not sure whether to do staggered. Its a possibility since i wont be running these year round. i'll put my stocks back on for the winter drive. NO BLING BLING....looks tacky imo the HRE's posted earlier look good to me. if that gives ya an idea...ps i thought something looked a lil strange on that gs pic posted above....haha..its an ls with gs front and rear...reminds me of that civic i saw with gs front and tail...

Check with d2, see what he has for you. With his new site, I think he has some nice wheels on clearance.

ok ok ok...so i've been lookin at wheels and which ones to buy....the specs i'm looking at are 18x8.5 +38mm all around with 245/40//18 or 18x8 +30mm all around same tires. or possibly 19x8.5 +38mm with a fat tire setup 245/40/19....bad roads around here...i've looked at rominl's guide to gs300 fitment. One question remains....will there be driveability issues with a 18x8 +30mm offset?....like increased bump steer due to the steering axis so far off wheel centerline? i found a set with those specs and i know you guys are full of knowledge. thanks for any input
