Potential rim choice .... opinions??

My quest for a set of rims is painstaking. The decision to choose the right rim is almost harder than that of buying a car or a house.

I'm not going for a fully bling-ed look cuz I still want to maintain the sporty, yet luxury appearance. I found these on Tirerack.com and they only come in 18 x 7.5 ... so basically, the size would match and look like the current SE. Too bad though, cuz these might look pretty tight in 19 or 20"

I kind of like the 6-spoke appearance, but not to fond of the stock SE wheels.

Opinions ????

I think they look a bit too much like stock, especially if you go 18". If you look on my Car Domain on page 3 at my first rims, I loved the way they looked and complimented the car. It's just hard to find that style in 20" and those ADR's sucked!!! I ended up going with chrome even though I was against it, they have grown on me though.
Good luck, wheel shopping is a long and tedious task...

This is just my opinion as I've been searching for wheels for months myself for my 5th gen. But for the 5th and 6th gens, if you're going with 18" they HAVE to be 8" wide. 7.5" is just too narrow on both of these body styles. Like I said, this is just my opinion.

Yeah, i've checked out your first set of mesh before and thought they looked very nice. I've looked around for some like those but have yet to find one's that give me warm and fuzzies. Oh well, I guess the search will continue...
