Which wheels for my Sedan?

I might be in the market firly shortly for some new wheels, still want to keep with 18's, due to amount of miles put on wheels/tires, Going to go with staggered setup this time. Any input on some initial choices?

Ace Vertex Gunmetal w/polished face and lip



Enkei LM1 Silver w/polished face



MRR HR2 Polished Silver


These would all be in either 18x8 or 8.5 front and 18x9 or 9.5 rear with 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 tires.

Give me input, good, bad or indifferent.

MRR someone has these in 19s look great, I would go with 19 also why do you want 18?? Also if you arent dropped 19 fill out the wheel gap very nice.

Out of those I like the Enkei. It would be a good idea to do a flush face wheel with 18's so they don't look tiny.

These are my current 18's, dropped on 35oz springs. I'm dropping it a little more with tanabe's shortly. Should be pretty slammed. Anyways, i've looked between 18's and 19's and for my situation think it's smart to stick with 18's.

I would go with the MRR's if you are going for 18" wheels. Enkei and Ace have better looking rim designs than the one you chose so I wouldn't recommend those.

Honestly, I like your current wheels more than any of the ones you posted. But that's just me.

Your current wheels look good. Keep those and get the NISMO bodykit

The problem I have with my current wheels are the nasty road/brake grime on the inner part of the spokes. Its been impossible to remove and is looking very funky. Second, these wheels aren't offered in anything other than 18x8, I still want the staggered look. Any other options in my price range of about $250/rim?
