Default Suggestions on wheels?

Whats up CL family. Well I need some help from people! I am looking for a good set of wheels right now for my GS, something cheap, but branded. Something that I can use everyday and not worry to much because the wheels are expensive, something in the $2000 or less range. My car is white and I am planning to go staggered fitment. I want to get a set of 19's or 20's too by the way. With that said, im thinking of either 5-Zigens, Axis, or Sevas.

5-Zigen Sport Engine in silver and chrome lip - 19x8.5 and 19x9.5


Axis Decade Maxis in silver and chrome lip - 19x8.5 and 19x9.5


Sevas S-22s in either chrome or silver with chrome lip - 20x8.5 and 20x.10

Pick something more VIP if you want to live up to your name.

Haha the VIP side will be taken cared of later on. As of now I use my GS everyday.. So im thinking of something pretty decent for everyday driving. No stretching or crazy camber. Since its an everyday car, I will be broke by then because I would always replace my tires. Haha, keep in mind, Texas is the biggest state technically, and I drive all over Texas alot..

As for my suspension, its stock as of now.. But I have a sale pending on a Tein CS V.1 from one of our CL members.. I am definitely lowering my GS all the way even its not that much on a Tein CS..

then get some VIP wheels...you don't have to have crazy stretch or camber right away...check out GATO and Golfkid777's cars. They don't have that.

if you're interested in those sevas or the axis, check with D2 (derrick) instead of buying from wheelsnext.
