Default help me choose rims.

1. looking for step lipped wheels.
2. sizes no smaller than 19 and no bigger than 20 (means only those 2 sizes thanks)
3. finish in only hyper silver, silver, gunmetal, anthracite, gold, or bronze, NO WHITE or BLACK - too overplayed.
4. links included with pictures
5. thanks.

pictures of my car here, to get an idea.






the end.

I know it's on an ISF but the BBS LM's are beautiful. Id go gunmetal with the "chromed" lip like shown below.

They would be very exclusive too cuz you can only find them on limited production runs now-a-adays. Rims are so personal bud. Good luck

+1...only step rim to get and those would look perfect with the aggressive offsets you can run on your car Jeff. These are some $$$ rims.

Whoever said my car won't be slammed?

I've had my eyes on the BBS LMs, Piaa super rozas, work vs-xxs, and a few more..
Choices choices, keep the suggestions coming, thanks guys!

19s.

over 5 posts and only one real legit input on rims.

I don't need people to tell me I need to lower my car first, my car is already on sport suspension and I don't feel the need to slam it just yet. I'm no noob, suspension is the least of my concerns. My car factory is NOT that high off the ground, see it in person.

I made this thread to help pick out wheels, not what to do first prior or after that.
thanks.

BBS LM. Except to find them in 19 or 20 is really really hard in the States.

Work Meister?

If you look at one side of the car and you can see far enough underneath it to see the light past the shadow or the other wheels then its not low enough . Imo I would slam it, throw on some spacers and run on your current wheels for a little. But if you really want wheels then you cant go wrong with vs-xx, meisters, or bbs lms..some of my favorites.
