Too many to choose from. I need suggestions (please post pics)

I deff want to get a deep dish Rim staggered fit.(Because they look the best IMO) Brushed alum or chrome lip with brushed or colored inside. I currently have stock 5 spoke chrome.

CCW is the best rim manuf if your on a budget.

If you want to go with max bling check out Iforged, BBS.

If you road race, check out Fiske.

If you are going with powder coated rims, it's common to have the lip either chrome or brushed. Painted lips can get scratched and look beat up more easily than the centers.

For road racing, I run with all black(incl lips) CCW Corsair rims. The flat black rims cover up all the brake dust generated during track sessions.

CCWs (one piece) will run approx 60% of the cost of the other 3 piece rims. They are all great products. From your budget, I suspect you may decide that CCW offers the best bet.

Good luck.

They all look nice but way out of my budget! I am just buying my time until someone wants to get rid of their set of wheels so I don't have to pay the new price!:thumbsup:

As far as sizes go. Should I stick with 18's? and whats the widest fit I can get without rubbing?

Sticking with the 18's you will have more tires to select from. :thumbsup:
