Default Help me choose NEW 18" rims. Vote!!!

Hi all

VOTE!!!! OK I updates this a bit

I am ready to upgrade my 18''s Please give me some comments from what I have to the ones I am looking at getting I know some of you have seen my ride in person. I like my rims to an extent but the fact the caps came chromed I think give it a cheap look at times. This pic was taken to avoid seeing the chromed lug cover.

I would appreciate it very much.

My Rims now


I really like these as well but they will cost a pretty penny
............

I can get these sportsmax for a bit more, I like them but I hear the color is not right (off) for my car:
2 Front Rims are 18x7.5 about 2 1/2" Lip
2 Rear Rims are 18x9.5 about 3" Lip


Prob not getting these two;

These won't brake the bank :


These are also cheap in price but simple in look :




So let me know K??

i'm positive tha anodized red might wont match 100%, but that contrast is only going to draw more attention to the wheel and that lip. if you aren't positive you love them, hold off until you find something that really does it for you. no sense having to buy a 3rd set of wheels.

I'd go with something like the sportmax... you might want to look into a silver mesh.

Wish I could see my xA next to a set of the sportsmax in person. It would prob. be a real big influence on my decision
