Question Help with wheels. Opinions needed. ALL

Hey all!!

Alright so I'm in a modders block (writers block).
I have a black Sedan with a Kurookie bumper and nismo skirts on the sides and rear.
Im currently sporting a bike rack on my roof. Chrome trim will probably remain the same (may go black chrome).

MAIN POINT:
I'm planning on buying some new wheels for the G. I also plan on going with 19" inch wheels with 8.5 up front and 9.5 in the back.

THE THING IS......
I live in a rather HILLY part of the country so the road condition and slopes already try to attack my front bumper. Remember its stock suspension with a Kurookie fiberglass bumper, and if anyone who doesn't know its limits could crack the front bumper EASILY.

So that leads me to being cautious about even a .5"-1" drop.
That makes me want to look in the market for some wheels that would look decent without a drop. I know the coupe wheels wouldn't look too bad.

Prefer aluminum finish (machine, silver)

I would like some personal opinions on what you guys/gals would do and how y'all would approach this.

Ive attached a basic side view of my car, sorry about the snow. ill have to load another.

ALSO CHECK OUT: NICHE MILAN 19"



My car in the snow with current set up.

I'd prob go 18" wheels without a drop. 19's are at the limit of what I think needs a drop to look right.

M45 wheels look great on the sedan. Cheap and OEM-ish wheels can easily be pulled off without a drop.

But, both those cars are dropped, which makes them look very good.

^^ Hard to find any pics of cars without a mild drop. But OEM-ish wheels will look good without a drop.
