Default Which wheels should i go with?

Not sure if this goes here or in the wheel/tire section, but I'll put it here since it's not a problem/question or w/e...

It's either this one

Numero Uno
or
Numero Dos

Now, i know what you're probably thinking... the first one seems to be made for bmw's and i think so too, but then again i don't its just the design is similar. I REALLY like it, but i honestly don't want to be driving around with bmw style rims haha. Might as well put on a bmw symbol on my scion and look like an idiot.

A little background info on my car to give you a lil imagination... My car is totally black as of right now. Has 15%/5% tint all around, tinted tailights/headlights. The headlights are giving me a little problem though at night cuz u can see the dust or w/e, idk... but ima take it off probably... BLACK ON BLACK!

Also I'm into wheels that are like the first one, like they go inwards and what not. If you have any other wheel suggestions please give me a link!

Neither, they both look ugly imo. I think you should do something else. Why not do the FiveAxis or something like Works?

Neither.

BUT if you are set on those 2 choices... Number 2 is the best out of those.

I am sure the Wheel Specs are bad though...

Well Works and FiveAxis has some i like but they're expensive. I only have $700, and I'm trying to look for wheels that would fit my tires. Both of those wheels were choices for my car so it should fit.

The first wheel doesn't even come in a 5x114.3 bolt pattern to fit the car, that's the main thing to check. The widths and offset would be the next thing for you to choose as to what you would be comfortable with running.

Have you looked at 18" Rota Grids? They have a concave style like you mentioned in your first post.

Why not save that $700 dollars and keep saving every week or month till you can afford some works. Hell check craigslist or ebay for some used works

why not just powdercoat your stock wheels? They are 18's and you can keep your stock tires

check out the Rs 8.0 tc to see how the stock wheels look in black

I don't really like the stock wheels that much. They looked great when i had them dipped, but i think if i save up and get some good tires and good rims that stick out a little bit it would look sick. My car is lowered about 2" and if i get some 19" or some 18" with thicker wheels... oh man....

Sadly the wheels i want is around 1-2k :/.

Dude just save up. Don't look at the price, look at being original and unique. Hell it may take longer to get them, but you will be much more happier in the end

If you're wanting a concave face you are going to need something that is at least 9-9.5 in in width and an offset at about +45 or lower. If anyone wants to correct me feel free, but from the research and experience I have done over the years with wheels that's what I have come up with.
