I don't know what brand of rims, but I prefer something that is very light, yet still looks good. I'm still searching for rims like that, so if any of you have a suggestion, feel free to tell me.

Hmm...

18" Racing Hart C5s (used of course) for looks. The wheels I have right now in 15" (8 lbs.) for performance. 17" HREs for a compromise. Not everybody like Volks .

I think www.TireRack.com carries them but if you're going to spend that much (around $2000), wouldn't you rather spend a LITTLE more money and buy HREs? They're custom made on order to your specifics you know...

I think my next wheel is going to be 18" Neeper Haaz. I like the look of that wheel.

Get 19" though.

But who knows enough about wheels to really take advantage of custom wheels? Go with HRE if you need to fill some space for that custom wide body kit. If not, regular off the shelf rims will come pretty close to spec.

HRE's are a helluva lot more than 2000, they can run upwards of 1200 a PIECE in 18" size. Anyways, my other favorite wheel right now is the Volk LE-37K.

18" SSR GT3's (silver)

18 " Versus Campionato SS6 (silver)

There were some wheels that Hogan had in the GD sectioan a little while ago, don't know what happened to them, but I'd choose the last wheel in the black/chrome finish.

I like how the z6000 doesn't expose as much of the inside. Unless you have a big brake kit, I think the Z6000s are better. Besides, even the spokes of the Z6000 look cleaner than the Z5000.

And 19", What's that for? By the time your car gets rolling I'll be down the street

I think I'd stick with my Konig Monsoons, only in 16" instead of 17". That way I'd have good looks and a nice smooth ride.
