I really don't like any of those, but I'm not a Big Chrome Wheels kind of guy. On a 3rd gen-- none of those designs really do anything for me... but I'd have to pick the center one's.

Black On Black w/ Chrome lip I think is sheexssyyy

<--- not a fan of large, heavy chrome wheels.

Your offset should be in the +30mm to +40mm range, depending on the width of the wheel and the design.

I'd go with the bottom because at least then it's a 5 spoke.
they are all ugly, but that's because I don't like chrome wheels on most cars.

im not gonna flame anyone for their opinion but look at my avatar thats pretty close to what the third one would look like on your car Secondly i think the use of to much chrome is tacky,i would'nt say gay ONCE AGAIN NOT FLAMING thats a lil harsh. I believe you should buy rims based on what works for you be it chrome, alloy, painted, whatever just as long as you like it.I admit im alil offended by people thinking that chrome is alil fruity but i gotta respect that mans opinion, look around for a better quality chrome and better deals. Bottom line if it works for you,and compliment the car get them just get ready to feel every bone jaring road imperfection there is and got your swerve and dip skills up cause replacing crack wheels and getting alignment every week is NOT FUN. Once again not flaming anyone

18's
stock are 15's right?
Carefull with the size tire you get left with.
To small of a wall and handling will be stiff!
you're gonna wind up with a low profile tire, gonna look GOOD, but not gonna feel to good lol IMO<

But, chrome, black, alum, rims, thats all your choice, whatever you like.
Id say the 3rd rim from the ones you posted.

hmm... I'm 17 and I'd take my stock GXE peeling clearcoat rims over any of those pep-boys one's Anyday

If you feel rushed in to buying rims because they're local and somewhat inexpensive even if they really don't grab you. I'd suggest waiting and searching the classifieds section until you find something you REALLY like... I'm sure you can find something with nice tires and great rims slightly used for under $600. ****... James92SE is selling his old rims and they look GREAT on a black car...

lol I am not calling you racist but what does your choice of music have to do with whether you are a racist or not.

Dont worry about us...if you like something then get it. Personally I dont like chrome on imports but thats just my taste...do what you like.

Good luck...let me know how the paint turns out...take plenty of pics.

What kind of paint are you using (BC/CC or SS), type of sealer, etc.

In my opinion the chrome wheels may attract unwanted attention especially if you have other mods.

Personally I would drop it on 5th gen 17's.

Now that's a bit better

I'd say the top one's since they're not as "busy" looking. I think clean and simple on 3rd gens is the way to go.
