help me pick new rims :)

sooo basically my rims are all cracked and bent, theyre having troubles holding air anymore, so i need new ones - no i didnt save my stocks. i thought picking out some would be a lot more fun and a lot easier than it is. i had some imagined in my head that i cant find anywhere online. 20in deep dish (all gloss black, im sick of chrome) and idc how many spokes but i like the bolted look of a 3 piece. i can find some kinda like that but the dish/lip is chrome and i just want all black. makes me wonder is theres such thing. if anyone has time and wants to help browse the web and post up some ideas thatd be great. my car is on my profile if ya look. id match the paint and paint the lips but that just sounds really expensive (im saving up for boost so im tryin not to go overboard w this)
THANKs

You think about having one of the top tier wheel makers throw a custom set together?

Well, I would look into quality over price as stated by your original post (concerning what happened to your current rims.)

If you want a good set of wheels, quality is the way to go. If you are looking at under $2k...I would look into a used set on here of some Volk, Rays, Piaa...
For example...
https://g35driver.com/forums/19-inch...t1r-tires.html

https://g35driver.com/forums/19-inch...s-w-tires.html

I went price over quality the first time and learned my lesson. Quality does matter and it usually equals lighter and stronger wheels.

Good luck!

I think Kevin is selling his Volks, not sure what he is asking. He posted a pic of his new step lips on facebook last week.

im going with (middle tier?) Advantis with black lip/machine face in 20's!

ive always thought the 3-piece wheels are heavy and very expensive?, like Lexani for example...check out MonoTec rims also, they look sick imo

oh i thought they were lighter? idk. i think im prob just gonna go by tire barn tomorrow to look through their rim book and get the same size so i can just switch over my tires.

i bent/scratched another rim today, yay me. some chick was headed directly at me like she was about to hit me while i was taking a turn (i had the right away) and she got so close i had to turn sharper, causing me to clip my lovely pos rim. the same one that i took to the shop yesterday cuz it was leaking pretty bad, now its leaking again.

I would look through the gallery for what you think looks good. Also check the classifieds for good local deals. I just found some Volk RE30s.
