Big lip or small lip with '07?

I'm finally in the market to get a decent set of wheels. I'm partial to black wheels with deep chrome lips. How would this set up look with a black G. Any recommendations as to which brand? I'm thinking about going with 19s with a budget around $3000-3500 including the tires. By the way, I'm installing a set of H&R sport springs and a Stillen exhaust within the next few days so try and picture the wheels with this setup. Thanks.

biggest lip you can get on the sedan is 4" in the rear. IMO black cars with black/chrome lip wheels are played out, everyone does it, why not be different and get some gold or something?

Yeah, but I really like the look and not a big fan of gold wheels. And most modded black sedans I've seen don't have black wheels. I see them mostly with coupes and suvs.

I honestly like a 'moderate' lip on the Sedan. If you get tooo big of a lip that is all you notice and seem to not see the rest of the wheel unless your looking at it dead from the side. Mine are in the 3.00" rear and 2.25" front range and I think they look pretty good. I dont think I would want a bigger lip.

As for the wheels on a black 07 Sedan?!?! There is obviously a setup like Hikos_G, but you dont want to copy. I like the mesh look in a hyper silver with a nice polished lip, haha. I want to keep my car classy looking as well as sporty, thats the goal anyways. I am not a big fan of the black wheels, but to each his own.

go for a brushed aluminum or something along those lines. Nothing Accents the rims except the rims, plus it is played out.
