cant decide on wheels .need input

I have a 04 coupe .Not dropped yet .dont say get a drop lol . im looking to get some 19" or maybe 20" wheels . I dont want really agressive offsets .Just looking to be close to flush . I also dont have much to spend . my preference is a mesh style wheel in black with a lip . Heres wheels i have in mind .

1. 20" MSR 093 20x8.5 20x10 24 offset front and rear (iv had msr b4 and was always impressed with the quality)

2 19" TSW strip 19x8.5 19x9.5 20 offset f and r

3. 19" MRR GT1 (not sure what offset is and iv heard bad things about lip finish )

4. 19" conceptone c701 19.8.5 19x10.5 18offset f and 25 r

5. Ruff racing 280 19x8.5 19x9.5 20 offset

Also is there any other wheels i should check out with the style i want and around 1000 ?If you guys have any pics of these wheels on a coupe please post . Thanks

id say msr or mrr. i had a friend with some ruff wheels and they were heavy as hell. i bought some works and tried to sell them but everyone that looked at them didnt want to buy them due to there weight

Are you worried about weight and performance at all? If not, go 20's and get the MSR's. Try to run offsets in the 20's or the mid-teens, you'd be relatively flush with those. Definitely not hellaflush, but that's not what you're looking for. But with offsets in the teens, you're going to need a rear fender roll if you ever plan on dropping.

If you're worried about the weight, then go with the 19" MRR's.

Good luck with your decision.

Just remember that 20" tires are cheaper then 19" tires.

your sn is too similar to mine lol. id go with wider wheels with offsets below 20 if you have the option. 19s and 20s will look better than 18s if you're not lowered.

How are vertini riviera and chikara wheels ? how much do they run price wise . Also do the mrr gt1's have a brushed aluminum type look or is it a mirror chrome type finish ?

+1 on Varrstoen. I don't know anything about their quality but if you're looking at MSR MRR TSW and the like, Varrstoen would fit that list. Plus their sizes and offsets are leaps and bounds better than the other brands.
