Talking Need your help with wheels!

Hey, So i have a 06 IS250 AWD, Crystal white. Mods i currently have are HKS Hi Power, Wrapped roof (black), Wald spoiler, and Eibach Pro-Kit. Soon to come is a full INGS +1 Kit.

Here's my question. I'm looking into rims but i cant decide what to get. Ive been looking at the XXR 527's but im not sure about the quality of the wheels since i read a post about a set of XXR's collapsing randomly on a Evo. I live in Toronto and the roads here aren't that great. I also track the car so i don't know if the xxr's will hold.

Im just seeing what you guys will suggest. I like the wedssport tc105n/ ssr type F styles of rims. I go to the track just for fun so i dont need light light wheels. I understand you get what you pay but maybe there's something out that that's cheap pretty and reliable haha

Also what offset / size (18"or19"maybe even 20" lol!) would you guys recommend for it to look flush without having to buy coils.

Thanks for reading and helping a noob out!

Im say save up for a quality set of wheel but that just me. Flush is an off set thing plus the bigger the wheel the higher the car sits on the AWD.

if u like the xxr's I recommend the Bavaria BC10's pretty similar but sexier imo. I was deciding between those and my Rohana RC10s when I was wheel shopping. Kris Becker a vendor on here is selling them you could prob get a CL discount
