buying new wheels, need help.

I am shopping for a new set of rims for my '03 coupe... the problem is I'm having problems finding the ones I want, because i don't really know where to start looking.... so I need some help getting started... here are my requirements, if anyone can help that would be awesome:

size: 19"
color: black with polished or chrome lip.
staggered
price: $250 to $350 per wheel

additional comments: i really don't like the rims that have the rivets/bolts around the inside of the lip... but any help is appreciated!

try looking into varrstoens (te-37 reps) althought it doesn't have a polished lip but I think it's one of the cheapest and nicest rims you can get IMO.

Check the for sale section on this site and my350z - at that price point, you will be extremely limited in finding something - make sure the offsets aren't super weak or it will look a bit odd or require you to run spacers to sit nicely

I second the Varrstoens comment above - those are nice knockoffs

what style do you prefer? 5 stars - mesh style - etc?

What look are you going for with your G? VIP, Tuner, Luxury, sport etc?

5 star is my preferred style, 7 spoke is ok too depending on the flavor, but anything over that i feel like i start to lose sight of the brembo calipers, and i dont want that.

As for the look i'm going for... i want it to look sleek and sporty at the same time.... my G is silver with blacked out head/tail lights and sidemarkers... roof is painted black as well... going for the silver/black theme

** edited for clarity

on a side note, im getting condensation in the black side markers i put in... is it because i didnt seal it with silicon or some other sealant? if its something else i need to do could anyone point it out to me?

if my assumption is correct tho what kind of sealant is best for it?
