Default Best Wheels/Tires for Gold GS430?

I need your opinions on the best wheels and tires for a gold GS430. For tires I think I pretty much got it. I want to put the Yokohoma AVS db 2's. But I am thinking about a staggered setup because it looks cool, but I don't know any of the pros/cons of getting a staggered setup, help?!

As for wheels, I am thinking I want either 18's or 19's, because I want to keep the ride quality good, plus I don't want something too radical because it is a champagne gold GS and I want to keep it atleast somewhat conservative looking, though i do want chromes. I was thinking that I want something close to the stock 17" chrome look. I also don't really want to spend a lot of money on the wheels. Less than a $1,000 for 18" or 19" chromes is what I am looking for. I looked at the Moda R6 because a lot of you seem to recommend it for its price, but it doesn't come chrome and it will take more time and money to chrome it, how much time and money?

Please reply asap because I already sold my 16" stock chromes so I need new wheels/tires soon so I can drive my GS.

Thanks guys!

Default 18 inch Chrome

The least expensive I have is 18 x 8 MM Evo 5 Chrome with 245/40 18 all around. This is a nice looking package for $2000 delivered.

Evo 5 Chrome

Someone told me the Evo5's aren't good wheels and that the Mille brand in general doesn't make good quality wheels, is this true?

Default No

Nope, not at all. They are fine quality wheels and I have never had any complaints about them.
