what size wheels are you looking at, first off?
10-03-2013
Trying to decide honestly.... Leaning towards a 20 inch as I do not want to lose performance
10-03-2013
Learning towards 20's as opposed too.......
... 24's?
10-03-2013
20s are a good size for your size vehicle. any width restrictions you want to abide by? i'm going to assume 9" wide or less so they fit fairly easily.
10-03-2013
well between the two options number one for sure.
10-03-2013
Well, it was between 18 or 20 inches for me. 20 inches you lose minimal performance if any.. Width restrictions are exactly what you said. I do not want tires that "poke out" or take away from the car. I personally am leaning with wheel number one as well.. Just wanted to get more opinions...
Anyone know of a good web site to look at other wheel options?
10-03-2013
the first wheel looks a little wide. what size does it come in? website?
depends on how much you want to spend as well. a GOOD set of wheels alone will set you back $2k+.

That first wheel is $1500 and it comes in a 9 inch width... It comes from a place called Hot Wheel City here in Detroit (http://hotwheelcity.com/)

actually looks like in 20s you can get them in 8.5", 9", 10.5", and 12" wide. they are called niche sportiva's.
both the 8.5" and 9" wheel come in a friendly +35mm offset, which is good for you.
the 8.5" is going to be 5x115, the 9" will be 5x114.3. both will work, but just to be specific so you're aware.
i like them and i think that either of those sizes would look good running a 245 wide tire.

@Bio248 I appreciate all the help sir! I think I am going to go with that wheel...
10-03-2013
#1 for sure. #2 is just to flashy to me.
10-03-2013
Love multi-spoke wheels, but yeah... #1 is definitely the better choice.

(Stock)

I think the stock wheels look best IMO
10-03-2013
Stockers are the best of the 3, but if you are adamant about getting new wheels go with #1.
10-03-2013
Keep your stock 18"s and lower it.
I like to look of #1 better, they might be easier to clean.

I went to hotwheelcity as well when I was first looking for rims. You can find a nice gently used set for around 7-800 tho on Craigslist. Maybe driven a season or so. As soon as you pull away from there the value just goes down so much to where idk if I'd spend 2 grand on rims. Is 1500 including tires?
10-03-2013
You don't buy rims unless they're super cheap or high end if your thinking its going to maintain value. Plus most will rather just hit up Craigslist and spend $500 on curbed no name rims rather then buying from a well known company. Shrugs
