Default Any Suggestions?

Hey guys. I wanted you to look at these from red magna's earlier post and give me opinions.

I love the look of the setup in the pix below. As you can see, her tires are stretched, but not to any extreme. At the same time the size of the lip on these wheels is perfect for what I'm looking for.

I guess what I'm saying is I want the same width wheel/tire, but I don't necessarily want that wheel style. Nor do I want different offset sizes from the front to the back.

I am looking for black w/ polished lip or chrome (mostly black) and I am also looking for a wheel/tire package for a good price. My wife is NOT gonna let me drop 300 per wheel before tires.

I also would rather have at least 16s or 17s if they'll fit at that width with a 2" drop, although the 15s are slowly growing on me, so feel free to include options for those.

Point is, I love how far the setup comes out just a bit past the fenders of the box and how the stretch is there, but very subtle.

Do any of you wheel and tire guys have suggestions of what I should be looking for and where to look?

Thanks, and here are the pix:

Sorry to say, but dish is almost always associated with a high cost. Alot of times it is because the wheel is 2 or even 3 pieces as opposed to one cast piece like less expensive wheels.

I got dish AND saved money by ordering widened steel wheels. There is a thread about it that is up to page 7...... lol

The down side of the steelie route is huge. You are limited to a 16" max diameter wheel.

The advantage is huge though. These steel wheels are CHEAP and you can buy them, finish them any way you want, and still save over alloys.
