Question Wheel Suggestions for DG Coupe

Hello,
I am looking to find a set of wheels for my G. I really like the Work VS-XX, but I have only seen them on the lighter silver coupe. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for mesh style with decent sized lips, or can recommend something else that looks good on the DG coupe.

they're 19x9.5 +28 and 19x10.5 +29, 25mm spacers all around. obviously if you want to go aggressive, get more aggressive wheels off the bat, instead of spacers.

yes, car is lowered quite a bit lower than stock.. on tein flex coilovers

For the time being,my car has stock suspension. Do you think it would look alright if I did 19s without lowering it?

Could 18s clear the factory Brembos without problem? The 19s are a bit aggressive for me... I would like to retain a bit more ground clearance. And out of curiosity, do aggressive fitments have any negative effect on handling?

the OEM brembo equipped cars come with 18s, so yes as long as the offset/spoke allow it. Aggressive fitment can have a negative effect if it requires too much of a tire stretch. 10" width wheels with 225 tires is purely for looks, not performance on any level. You can join the aggressive fit + fat tire movement.

Biggest I see on a regular basis is 18x10.5+15 all around with 285/35/18 or even a stagger of 275/35 front with a 285/35 rear.

Far from it
I might be pulling out the car and taking it to another shop
Getting tired of getting the run around

also a safe fitment would be the typical Work XD-9 setup of 18x9+18 with 18x10+22 I think.
