I would leave them but they aren't like they appear in the picture :/ they're worn and have like brake crap or something on them that wont come off. They aren't shiny or glossy, I need to do something about it and right now PC seems to be it....

From 10 feet you can't tell. From 3 feet you can but you can also see the typical wear on any 06 car. You going to paint the whole thing too?
I'm just picking on you. I went through the same process. But when I found out how good these Rays are I was able to forgive a little wear. These rims are super light. Probably makes more difference than most of the snake-oil engine mods people waste money on.
How much do they weigh? You should start a new thread and ask that question.....NOT! The "Do a Search Trolls" will wake from their stupor and flame you endlessly. Although, I'm not sure anything gets them more excited than flaming a noob about asking a common question. For them, its better than girls, cars, drugs and booze. So maybe you should throw them a bone after all.

Well... I would want them to throw me some girls, cars, drugs OR boose. So if if I have the ability to make them happier than throwing me ALL of those, then it would only be the right thing to do....

Good luck with your search. I paid $2,500 for my used 20" RAY'S wheels. They are probably one of a kind anywhere around CA, are really expensive for tires. I have to replace my rear ones again after 20K miles and those alone cat me about a grand, I get the Michelin Pilot PS2s 255-35-20 in front and 285-30-20 on the rear. Maybe 19s are the way to go. I don't think I've ever seen a set of 19s that I didn't like.
Later,

I have a 2005 sedan and I found that I could run 19 by 8" with a +30 offset with 245 40 19's and it gives the perfect (for me) flush look (I can't get a pencil inbetween the tire and fender, NO rubbing) and it keeps my speedometer correct. If you go wider rims, you would have to adjust the offset acordingly. It's not uncommon to run 10" in the back, but you would need a 45-55 offset to make them fit under the wheel wells.
This pic was take before the drop of 1" was made.

+55 on a 10 would be too high. +40 on a 10 with rolled fenders is perfect.
