Default Help ne narrow down my rims (vote)

so due to my accdent I can get some new wheels and these are the ones that I came up with due to price

1 BBS 16 inch no idea on weight price 460.00


2 sport edtion wheel 16 inch 20 Lbs cost is 390.00


3 sport edtion 16 inch 18 Lbs cost 375.00


4 Sport edtion 16 inch 20 Lbs price 390.00


5 WB 16 inch weight ?? price 360.00


So what do you think i am leaning to the #3 option as it's low in cost and a little bit lighter then stock.
Love the BBS wheels however with the 500.00 owed to the body shop that extra cost is noticed + wifes car is cracked up +new camper etc (home built)
please vote and let me know what you think
as to the car it's silver 08 Xb

What is your spending limit, that might help us out. I vote for the meshies! BBS are hella over priced certainly for a 16" rim. I'm sure you can get ahold of a set of used BBS's cheap if anything maybe have to get a lip fixed / powder coated cheap. I'm getting these for the wif's XB2 :http://ti-wheels.com/rm_01/ti_rm.html <-- the black matte with red ring on the inside / red center cap on the left. Let us know man.

Im not saying BBS is not quality, just saying BBS's can be had cheaper with a little bit of looking and why limit yourself to 16's? I don't know how good you are with yahoo Japan auctions but there are BBS's on there all the time. I got a set of gold LM's for 800.00 shipped to my door I spent an extra 75 bucks at a rim shop for them to polish the lips and make sure the seals were good. LM's are not a cheap rim, I just looked around.

Pic of your car?

Personally I don't like the look of any of those wheels. But seeing a pic of your car would help people out.

^^x2, there are better looking mesh wheels & 5-spokes that don't cost an arm & a leg, if that's what you're after.

A bunch of sources since nobody sells everything:

thank you for your help but please keep it coming

just to clarify the price listes is shipped for a set of 4 with all parts for install
lugs' hubcentric rings, centercaps etc

the plan is to keep the car for two to three more years then sell as i am at 85K now for mileage

So keeping that in mind what do you think?

Out of all these choices, I like the fourth one the best. But what color is your box to help us all out?
