GOD save me from this stress, I CANT DECIDE!~!~!~!

Ok. I just cant decide. And I dont know what offsets to go with either
This is going on a 03 Desert Platinum sedan (tinted), with stock suspension. I may be considering a drop over the summer on Tein CS suspension. The tires will be 245/40R18.

I was considering these in 18x8.5~42 Hyper Black



OR these in 18x7.5~42, or 18x8.5~38 in silver or gunmetal.



Im leaning towards the 5-spoke in 18x8.5~38, I just don't know what color would go good with the car, or if that offset is too aggressive.

Thanks for your opinions!

G35Mass, go with the 5-spokers on your sedan! Just make sure you don't get pulled over for "overly excessively bad@$$ wheels." I think that's a fix-it-ticket. I don't know about the colors. . .you should ask my wife. She's a color guru. LOL

Are the 18x8.5~38 offset too aggressive?

i'd go for the mesh ones. The 5 spokes have no lip and arent very attractive for a no lip wheel.

a 8.5" wide wheel with a +38 offset isnt too aggresive for a sedan. you can do offsets ranging from 35-45 for an 8.5"... aggresive would be +30

Go with a bigger wheel with a lip and you won't regret it later. Have you thought about 19's or 20's?

18" wheels with a lip would actually look like 17" which is too small for an aftermarket rim. I think you'll regret getting an 18" wheel. Look for them in 19" and go mesh in silver! To me hyper black on DG makes the car look dull and +38 is just fine I wouldn't go with a +42 unless the wheel was 9.5 inches or more.
