I agree some 20 inch BBS LM's would look killer.

All awesome picks so far: Scaras, LMs, Profounds, Magnifiques, and various Works (Equip, VS-XX, Rezax, maybe even in Burning Black finish).

I'd get a set of TE-37s, custom polished and clearcoated. Yeah, there's the LE-37T, but somehow TE-37's that are custom polished look better. Usually, the TE looks like a straight up race wheel, but a polished TE looks classy too.

That's what I would get for your car - custom and rare (you won't see any others around), relatively inexpensive, and a strong wheel for daily or sport driving. A good "other wheel" to go with your Scaras.
