My car needs a new pair of shoez.

From 5 star to 7 and up, what looks good on mine?
I was about to buy a set but didn't and been staring at all the people's rims out there and too many to choose from !!!!$@#!$$@#!!!

Only a few look good on this car and it has to be that way.
This time next year, I don't want to hate my rims so it needs to be a classic design. ( timeless? ) Asking too much?

I really want an agressive look.
19" by 8.5? Offset? Tire size?

Can I see your pix? and what all the measurements are? I looked around in this forum but nothing directly dedicated to rims. That I found..... If there is I'm sorry.

Rims change the look of the car big time. And alot of you guyz that have put new rims on this car really look great. What's messing me up is the 2 tone paint job I've got - whether to go all chrome, hyper silver w/ chrome lip, black rims w/ chrome lip, gray rims? Or no lip at all.

Thx guyz, your my only hope....

An 18" wheel with a lip will look like a 17". I wouldn't go above 18" myself, either an 18x8 with a 40mm offset of an 18x7.5 with a 45mm offset running a 225/40 18 (I love my Yokohama Avid H4s).

I think on your car you have enough going on that you should either stick with silver or black/opal. I personally had the Konig Verdicts Silver on my 01 Solara but I know the verdicts also come in Opal.

I also like the AT Italia Inox

JM - the Inox reminds me of TSW's Vortex, which I've fallen in love with!

And the 35 offset on SOcal looks awesome!

Thanks for taking time out for me.

my offset is 40. with the 2 tone color of your car i'd stay away from anything black, gunmetal, bronze or gold. silver or chome would both look good imo.
