By the term "best" I mean best looking. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion...and i wanna hear it haha :nails:

I'm not gonna be tracking my car, due to the fact that I have an auto, so i'm simply going for looks. My budget is around $1500, so unfortunately, no volks or advans.

I have a silver tc, and really like black wheels with the silver car. I have 5 percent tint and blacked out tail lights so black wheels would be the best bet.

Here are some pics of the ones i'm thinking about getting..and i'll put up a poll so you can vote. If you have any others that would look awesome, post em up!

I'm still learning...so bear with me.

Rota Grids (i know, i know, "rotas suck!", but they look clean nice and tucked, imo)

Well the gram lights are like $500 a rim, and the OZs are like $350 so those pretty much blow your budget unless that 1500 is for just rims

For looks, I'd say the Grids. Just get the right size/offset.

yeah, just the rims. the mom gets to pay for the tires :) haha.

and the gram lights are $358 at tirerack.com. They have a closeout. that'll be just right under my budget

Edit: wow, the poll didn't help much haha. Everything is tied up right now!

The offsets for the gram lights are awful on tirerack, they are +48 so they will be even more tucked in than stock.

Like i said..i'm new to this stuff :/

Oh wow, I never would've known that! I don't know very much about offsets and tires and everything. I probably should read all the stickies in this forum and others just to educate myself so I won't make the same mistake. I'm still going to keep them up though, just to see what happens, and then I'll go from there.

Yea the other 3 have better options as far a offsets. I was thinking of getting the tenzos but they are super heavy and a lot of people started getting them. They are nice though.

^^ DJ, just found this pic. They definitely do look good. This is with a machined lip though, and still look awesome.
