help me pick new rims :)
I had a similar post. I got tenzos with continental 19s. About 1800 through a couple of vendor pricing wars with muteki lugs. Miro 111 and the advantis were in the runnin but a couple hundred more. Haven't had a problem yet and its been a few months. My budget was 2000 but since I was spendin that (which is a lot to me) I decided to get new lower midrange wheels compared to same price volks with rashes and/or nicks on them. However I'm still fairly new to this g world so I just wanted something. Concave look black wheels on silver car suited me just fine
ive decided to go 5 spoke, still cant find an all black glossy deep lip rim. i wanna match the paint of my car and paint the lip green. but hafta find a rim first, ive debated just buying any 5 spoke rim that i like and have it painted black when i get the lip painted so im not stuck on this. but sounds expensive and i dont know many shops
i went by tire barn and they were no help.. ive found both of these online, which do you guys like better?

2. http://www.wheelsnext.com/wheels-rim...ack%20lip.html

keep in mind the outside lip is gonna match the color of my green car

I like number 1 over number 2...but my concern would be weight. Knowing you autocross...it could effect your performance such as slower take offs and longer braking. how much do they weigh?
btw, I dont believe you have ever posted up pics of your ride on here and your mods! I know you have some interesting things (such as your headlights) that ppl on here would like to see...

35lbs a piece for number 1. (the second guy i talked to said theyre 5 lbs less than -i forgot what he said- but that they wont be in production for another 60 days)
how do i post up pics? lol

chicks... you gotta teach them everything
You might want to look into Varrstoen 2.2.2
They're the Volk replicas.
They're 6 spoke and come in all black, but the lips aren't real deep.
They do have a nice concave look, aggressive offsets and are in ur price range.
I just got a set and really like them.
They give the G that real aggressive look.

I would just say cruise the FS section until you find something you like. Even go over the the 350 boards as well (thats where I got mine) You will get a better deal on a nicer wheel if you go used.
Mine had tires on them that I will get two summers out of and I paid 2800+shipping Volk TE37 Seibon Edition with Bridgestone RE-11. If you want to know what kind of deal that is, check tirerack for the prices on the tires alone..
Good luck with your search!
If those two are your only choices I would go with the split-spoke. Once again I would scan the FS of all related sites. While I wasn't able to get an amazing deal like Jomanchu, I did find some local Volk RE30s for about $2300.
