Default BSP Rim Choice?

Hey guys - I'm waiting on my BSP 5spd and I was wondering if I should go with the factory 18 upgrade:



Or some other aftermarket rims... I want a nice luxury-ish look (getting leather inside). Nothing ricey and no dark rims. I was thinking about the Axis Seven Mod, but iI think the factory 18's are a bit classier.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Go aftermarket! Don't get ripped off with the dealer's wheels.

Any aftermarket suggestions? I have about $1500 for rims + tires (ha stock price).


Also - I was thinking about getting TRD Springs for the drop, however I don't want to worry about ground clearance, and the 18's seem to cover the wheel gap pretty well:

What do you guys think, does this need to be lowered;


I think the gap is not bad there and the clearance is just right. (Esp with ground effects).

Compare that to:



Very little gap, I'd worry about rubbing, as well as speed bumps and driveways. I have a lowered eclipse now and I scrape on everything and cracked my bumper [/list]

It depends on what you want. You could get some good looking wheels that are lighter & some better tires.
