What are some options. Need peoples input!

I'm looking for a 19 x8.5 all around for my 03 sedan. I want to go staggard but I want to be able to rotate the tires so I am sticking to 8.5 all around. I am in college so I can't afford the rims I really want, about 3k just for the rims lol. I'm looking for a moderatly priced rim with a good rep and that people have experienced. I am stuck between a Mesh style and a spoke style. For a while I wanted the Axis Penta style, but then I realized I want a more sportier look so I am looking into the spoke rims. Anyone have any opinions on which rim to get that would be good for me? Also, offsets that will be safe and not have to worry about any rubbing or problems. Please let me know. I am looking for a rim and tire setup so package deals would be great. Thanks in advance!

I think the nicest looking 1 piece cast mesh wheel out right now would be the 5Zigen SC3000. No fake rivets and a nice chrome stainless steel lip.

For a more sportier look I would go with the Enkei GTC01.

Both wheels feature pretty conservative offsets for the sedan, so no worries on rubbing.

I'm kinda getting tired of wheels with a lip, I'm planning to switch my wheels out for some more sporty wheels like the gtc01 or a full face wheel...yes full face...once my tires are gone on my current 19"s.

the sc3000 are pretty sick. I would go with hyper black since I don't want any chrome or shine really. Looking for the sporty look. I got a brilliant silver so I think the hyper black would look pretty sick. Although, I've been doing a lot of research and think I may go with the Sevas S Star 19x8.5. Not sure which offset to go with being that I am not too familiar with what offsets are and what is good for no rubbing with the specs I chose. What do you think is a good offset? Do you have any pics of your sedan with the sc3000's on? I would love to see them

The sevas s-star I think come in 19x8.5 +35 and the sc3000's come in +38 for the same size. You should be fine with those.

im going with the +40 on the s stars. they only come in +20,35, and 40. I think +35 would rub. 40 would be safe I think

Still looking for a rim. I narrowed it down to Sevas S stars but then found out they arent making them for the g anymore so I had to scracth that off. Then I was set on Privat Netz, but thinking I want a little bit higher end rim. People say they aren't that great, so I started looking again. The style i'm looking for is a really aggressive sporty look. I am sticking with 19's with a 35-40 offset. Will not get 20's because I am trying to keep the performance I have. I'm going to say my budget for wheels and tires are 2k. Give me suggestions people!!
