Default new shoes for my xd

so I want to stay with the chrome look, or possibly go with gold rims.
17 or 18s i dont really mind, but what are some good rims i should look at it?

i dont know rims anything, so i dont even really know brands or what not
So im open to suggestions. what do you guys like? or like to see
i drive a metallic grey xd.

If you can, post a link so i can just click and look at it. or post a picture?
thanks :D

Be careful on offsets with that rim size...I did some research and the closest offset they make with that particular model is 30 and that ain't gonna work without some serious fender modification...Make sure you know what your getting yourself into...Just for reference, I'm running an 18x8 +35 offset and lowered on Tanabe DF210's and I had to grind the rear inner fender down to nothing...And make sure to shop around, I think you can do better than $1300...Hit up the classifieds here on SL and check out the the Sponsored sales threads...

The black TRD rims are nice and will fit with no problems...I'm assuming they are the 18x7.5 correct?

You originally said you wanted some gold rims...So I did some looking around for you...I have purchased rims from these people before, NLMotoring, AWESOME company...You can even get tires mounted up if you desire...The only problem will be is that your TPMS won't be in the new rims...What I suggest is that you order rims and have them shipped to your house and then go to your local tire place and have tires mounted up that way you can have your TPMS removed from your stock rims and out into your new ones...Here are a few examples of what I found...The offset is a little high but they will fit nicely and since they are 8.5 inch wide rims that will help offset that...

Gold: http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-522-Wh...p/52288107.htm

I like the chromium black: http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-522-Wh.../52288102c.htm

As for tires, go with a 235/40/18

Do you 17" or do you want 18"? What color do you REALLY want? You have posted twice now a black rim with red outter edge...Is that the style you are going for?

Ok I found a rim that you may like...It is black, it has a a 2.25 inch lip, and it has a red outter edge...It is 18x7.5 with a +38 offset which would be perfect... http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-962-Wh.../96287102r.htm

They have them in gold with a polished 2.25" lip http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-962-Wh...p/96287107.htm .
And for tires on this one go with 225/40/18

Enkei Evo EV5s, easy to clean and look great!

Here is a pic of my car with those on(17"):
