Default Need help choosing wheels.

OK, I finally decided what finish I want for my wheels and I'm having a hard time decidint between these two wheels. I really like the Nad3s but I don't want my car to stand out too much and I think that the Privat Netz blend in a little more.
Nad3:
or the Privat Netz

Just found out that I can only get the Nad3 wheels in 20" because they don't make them in 19". Does anybody know if I get 20" with 40 offset if I'll have any rubbing with a Pro-Kit installed. I might just have to go with 19" Privat Netz

Sure you don't want to get 20s or you will suffer!
I don't like classic look on a car like 2IS. So I guess Nad3 works better for me.

Go with your mind!

Hey smoky, if you are looking for a set of Nad rims, some guy is selling his 20s in the wheel classified section.

Yea I know I spoke to him already, but thanks for letting me know. He's trying to find out if they are TPMS compatible. If they are I'll probably get them. I'm just scared that they will rub in the rear since my car is lowered.

Smoky, some guy, I think DJ RANDO has a set of NAD-3s in 20s with an eibach pro drop. I remember his post saying that he had rubbing issues with the inner plastic in the front part of the inner fender. You might wanna PM him.

Thanks, I sent him a pm but his profile says he wasn't online since september of last year. I read some of his posts and he went back to stock and then back to eibach again. He said that it was rubbing not only when turning but on bumps also. I might just have to go with privat metz in 19". It's a very tough decision.
