i'll be lowered when i put the wheels on. im leaning towards the s5r's, i think the gold will mesh well with the twilight blue. either way, thanks for the opinion.

i'd like to use 19's however the roads here suck. i worry enough about putting 18's on. plus tires for 19's are a bit expensive, yeah?

The S2 and S5r are both nice.. I'd lean towards the five spoke like WTF?? though... and then paint the calipers, that'd be nice :D

I think the gold will look awsome, but the first wheels will look bigger than s5r's. But if your into the look with the lip, then go with those. I prefer the first ones myself, leave em on for a year or two, then paint em in gold.

i think im set on the luffs.... now which ones, black or gold? im a little nervious with the gold rims due to the fact that my car is twilight blue (purple in some lights) and i dont want to look like im driving an la lakers car. and black is getting played out. anyone have opinions on this? or any other 18" rims i should be looking at?
