Default which wheels for my sc400?

i want to get some new rims for my car in the future. so far the designs im liking the best are:
Enkei RPF1s 18"
http://www.dezod.com/prod_images_large/rpf1_silver.jpg
Varrstoen ES1s 18" (BBS LM copies)
http://www.enjukuracing.com/product_...06088_zoom.jpg
or if i can find some used somewhere:
Supra TT wheels 17"
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...33050164_n.jpg
G35 rays wheels 19"
http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sel...3683%20GGG.jpg

i dont know if i should save a few hundred by getting the supra or g35 wheels used eventually, or just save up some more and get new enkeis or varrstoens.

what wheels do you like the best, and what do you think i should do?

heres a picture of my car. feel free to photoshop it if you want


i intend to get coilovers in the future

Well do you plan on going for the "stance " look? My vote goes to the Varrstoens, they offer great sizing and colors

I am huge fan of the other two choices. G35's or TT's. Withe the correct stance, they look very appealing.

i went with g35 forged rims for now, very hard to beat for the size/weight/cost ratio. got them for 550 with **** tires and some curb rash. I haven't put them on yet though.

the RPF1s were my new choice too, also very light, and tires are cheaper at 18 than 19 The only thing with the Ray's G35 wheels is that i don't know how well the offsets will match up as far as flushness goes.. may need spacers which reduce their savings a bit, while RPF1s you can get in the flush offset.

either of those two choices would get my vote.

cheers

Marko, 1JZPWRD has a good point with the G35s...check out his build thread, a prime example of a proper look with G35s. Worse case, run the G35s until you save up for something else? I'm a bit biased, because I love the TTs and G35s wheels. lol

I think you should go for even better wheels that are real and not stock, but if I had to pick out of all of those wheels I'd probably go with the LM's.
