or something around 18x9 +35 try searching for some rotas. because if you want to go the Aggr Stance route you will have NO choice but to sacrifice speed for stance. this week's Modified Mag. explains this also.

I myself don't know much about wheels but I do know enough. If you want show with performance, your going to spend some money. The Volk TE37 was my number 1 choice but they raised the price by $110 as I was getting ready to buy them FAIL. You can also go with gram lights and some other RAYS WHEELS. The 57PRO is 17LBS and its sexy. The TE37 is $700-$800 pending on where you go. Here are some links:
Volk TE37http://www.hopupracing.com/vorawh.html(same sight you can find 57PRO)
http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/w...6424_4542.html

Gramlights 57PRO- http://gramlights.com/wheels/57pro/details.php

I went with ENKEI RPF1 wheels. There not much to look at but they still look good. They give you ultra light wieght:

ENKEI RPF1- http://www.jscspeed.com/tc/wheels/enkei_wheels.htm ($890x4) price advertised is wrong.

If you want aggresive stay away from high offsets. All they are going to do is sink your wheel in the fender. with a 18x8 i would rock something like a et25-27.

imo, all i know is that if you really want to have an aggressive stance and still keep a decent track set up its going to be hard. to me an aggressive stance is massive camber/ stretched wheels but to you could be different. if your going to race. id keep a set for that and then one for show.
