School me on rims

Hey, i'm planning on purchasing some rims soon. I'm leaning towards either sevas s-stars http://www.wheelsdirectonline.com/se...ip%20Right.jpg
or some Axis Hiro's http://www.wheelfire.com/imagesproducts/super_hiro_.jpg
As you can tell, im kinda fond of 5 spoke designs. So, if there are anything else that looks similar like these, please lemme know. Basically, i'm a complete noob when it comes to rims and tires. What are staggered rims? and how do they look like? also, i'm going for an aggressive look, and want the rims to sit flush with the body, or maybe even out a little bit more. What specs would that be? Thanks guys

staggered means the rears are wider than the fronts, sometimes they can be a bigger diameter also but not usually. as far as fitting flush with your fenders, that depends on the offsets of the wheels..do you have a coupe or sedan?

heres my car with staggered wheels and tires

Get the Sevas. Axxis wheels tend to crack and bend easily. As for the schooling it seems surfquikslver has done it.

If i were you, i wouldnt go with Sevas....or at least i wouldnt go with their non forged line. The lower priced line of sevas has had cracking problems. Save your money and buy some nice Volks / Works / DPE's / HRE's / or any good quality wheel.

Do lips serve a purpose? Or is it just for looks?

not even close to an impul front. that would be a kuruma z front. and they're not wavy. it's just the light reflecting.
