Default which wheel??? i cant decide!!!

My price range for wheels is around $1500 with tires looking for 18's with a offset between 15+ and 30+ all around. and i am getting my fenders rolled completely after i purchase wheels. i have pbm coilovers now.

just want some opinions!!!

TSW snetterton (3 inch lip)


mb battles (18x9.5 15+ offset)


TSW Valencia (18x9.5 20+offset) 3 inch lip


any other options for my price range? and i dont care about name brand, even though there's a lot more options in size its just to expensive for me.

I've got the same color car as you and I'm probably going with the snettertons. My car isn't lowered so I may run a little more tire than the car posted to fill up the wheel wells. The silver ones don't look nearly as good as I had hoped though, I may go full chrome.

I love the valencias but I'm not sure it'll look good on a green car. So I would go with the battles with your car. They should look very good with the drop of your car.

since your going with an 18" id go with the battles as well..since they dont have a lip they will appear bigger(since technically they are if u measure the face of the wheel ) and i think that will look best..plus i do like the wheels themselves a lot.
