Want new Wheels

I have a red 08 Non Sport with the 17" wheels.

I want new ones but want some ideas...

Can someone post up pics of different wheel options that looks good on the red.

I don't want to do black and am shying away from Chrome, unless I see one that looks great.

I probably wont go bigger than a 18"


Thanks for the help

What is your budget? I'm biased to DPE in brushed finish on the red color:

I have a friend at a Wheel shop that owes me a favor, so my budget is maybe $2k total Tires and wheels unless I stay with 17" Wheels.

One question I'd ask is: Why only as big as 18 inch? I have my 17's on for winter. They are not any more cushy than my 20's from what my butt can tell. I have noted almost no different in ride between stock and my lowered car on 20's. It corners a bit better but, 20's, lowered is not really any rougher.

Works make some nice wheels. It amazing about public opinion, but if you buy cheap, on this site you get razzed and want better wheels later. Paying for wheels twice is not a smart move.

Don't buy somehting cheap off ebay or some other stylish wheel that are cheaply made, you will regret it later. My cheap 18" weighed 7 pounds per wheel over my 20's.

I notice that my car rides much rougher with the 19's then the loaners that I get with 17's. the loaners dont handle as well but the ride is MUCH softer.

just my 2 cents

I definitely felt the difference going from OEM 17s to aftermarket 19s in ride quality. Much more road noise, feedback, harsher ride, etc.

However, I did notice the improved handling and cornering in spirited driving.
