Opinions....?

You'll need to do some research to find what you like with your lighter blue coupe. Check our GALLERY and attend a few meets before you lay down the $ it requires to buy quality wheels. Gold looks best with dark colors and IP, polished would look best with your color blue. Or better yet, polished lip and body color centers....that would be my choice. If your budget doesn't allow you to buy new quality wheels like Volks or Works check our MARKETPLACE for a used set in like new condition....

you also want to research more about wheels and their offsets and widths

the biggest mistake that i see people make is they spend quite a lot on wheels without a knowledge of their fitment, only to add spacers later on.. which is beyond me unless they were bought used

also you want to get at the drop height u want and are comfortable with

having done those two things, you can then pick wheels and specs that will not require spacers

I'll post some pics for you, I have an 07 Athen's Blue G on 19" rays that are powdercoated a semi-gloss black. It looks great imo, my windows are pretty dark too which helps the look.
I would recommend the 19" rays though, great size and even the stock color looks good with a blue car.
