Default Best rims

I want to put some rims on my black is300. I am looking for like some black rims with polished lip. Also 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5 in the back. But might go with some other look.

What would be the best brand?

What did you choose for rims?

Pics would be very nice?

No such thing as a "best". Just gotta use what you like. There is a gallery up top on the menu under community

^^what he said.

No wheel out there is indestructible, no matter how much you pay for it. So buy what you want to your heart's content.

you will want to run a +45 offset for the front and a +55 offset for the rear, to minimize rolling/shaving your fenders with that size of rim

i was originally wanting to go vip style but more i look towards that style i realize that i do not have a true car for it. i am just going to make it look clean but would like to build it to be able to show it. big system (touch screens, tvs, subs, ...), dropped with rims and big brake system and body kit, and last put intake, headers, exhaust, and supercharged. it will have to be overtime though because i am only 17 and i pay for everything including for the car myself. i like it that way because i enjoy my car a lot more but i still have my other bills and items to deal with.

you can still do vip style to it. thats why its called vip style. everything is been vip'd nowdays... honda fits.. acura tsx's. people can argue about it all they want. yeah sure there are only like 4 or 5 cars out there that are true vip platforms but thats because those were the first cars to do it. now its vip style and style wagons.

The best place to see different wheels on your car, is www.tirerack.com , and yes they have several 19 inch rims that are black with a polished lip.

Is black with polished lip the new fad or something???
I'm noticing soo many different cars with these rims now?
Maybe it's just because I have this rim that I'm noticing it more....???

For example: Just today I saw 350z, RX350, some chevy truck, grand prix, and some other car all had black with chrome lip.
That's 5 cars in one day with this style rim... what's up with that?



Makes me want to sell my wheels
