If say get the black wheels. They'll look great and aggressive. Somewhat different also cause everyone has Vossens. Remember that with a step lip the face of the wheel is an inch smaller.

I was kind of thinking about going with the black wheels as well, especially if I go with the diffuser. I'd get it painted the same style as itzhieu did.. Though if I did that, I think I'd want to paint or vinyl wrap the roof black too. Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep em coming.

I wish I could afford higher-end wheels like SSRs or those Rotiforms in the Classifieds There's just not enough room in my disposable income budget to justify spending an extra $1200-$1500 on wheels alone. Too much other stuff going on this year lol

well to go back to one of your options the Concept One CSL-5.5 is not bad for the price. Also got some good specs to choose from....
19x9.5 +15 +30 +36
19x10.5 +20 +42

not sure if you trying to run the same size all round or staggered.

Don't get me wrong, I really like all of these wheels, and I know I'd be happy with them. If I had the extra coin laying around I might consider the more expensive brands, but I know I'll be happy with any of these.

Since the car is AWD I might just do 19x9 all around, +36f and +15r (IF I go with the CSLs). I think I could do staggered too, but that decision deserves its own thread lol.
