Either way, your car looks good as it is now. Good Luck with whatever you decide.

i like the oem rays too. and i'm sure it's cheaper than the sets you chose. but since you asked, i would recommend the f10 in black.

if i had to choose one of the rims that you listed i would go with the Pentas, they look clean (mesh, since you dont have BBK) and the gunmetal on IP is sweet.

I love your car with the Volks, but if you have to change, I like the gold Forgestars the best .

The 20" Axis (a cast wheel) would just be too heavy, and although I have always been a fan of the Pentas look, they're starting to look too budget-y to me these days.

hey, i like volks too just not yours,

i had a set of volks sf challenge (bought used with 4 bad tires on it for $2200) in good condition last year - i love them but i was in your situation as well and wanted a change and need money - sold them at a loss of $200 but got oem 19" for around $1000 so pocketed $1000 - if you wanted new wheels go volks sf challenge - they would look sick on white - they looked ok on my athens blue

OEM rays do not look as nice as a good set of aftermarket rims. You just say that because you cannot afford good rims.

Go with OEM 19s, your two alternatives suck compared to what you already have.

Sell volks and roll the stock 19s. Why? Because when it's time to sell the cheap wheels you downgraded to, you've have just lost the $ you made in the original swap. Coupe 19s are forged and inexpensive. They will hold their value better than buying new and then selling
