None of the above!

Any time you're laying down those big $$ for modifications like wheels and exhaust you need to see or hear them in person! Attend meets in your area to see first hand what really looks

Not positive they'll work on an X but my favorite wheels on early sedans are the '06 coupe 19" wheels! Perfect offset and look besides being a quality wheel...Gary

OP please don't be offended by my comments that follow. I'll never understand why people want other folks to tell them what to buy, whether it's wheels, meals, music or whatever. Decisions like this are highly personal and only you know what you truly like. If you are buying things to please OTHER people you're doing it wrong.

Look around and find out what YOU like and go from there. You shouldn't give a **** what other people think, as long as you're happy with your ride that's all that matters in the end.

Example, most members here hate on chrome rims for whatever reason. I personally think on the right wheel in the right fit for the G they can work. I found what I thought was a perfect complement to my car, bought them and installed them. Had never been happier with my car 'cause I thought the wheels really made the look pop. It just so happened I got a lot of love from people who are very opposed to chrome how they fit so well with my car. But since I loved them I was ready for the flames to begin and would've LMAO. Here's how my baby turned out:

We're not making him do anything. It's just an opinion mate, in this case he chose a rather poor quality wheel, I recommended a quality wheel that's in the same price range and style. No need to turn this into a big thing, we're again lol just tryina help each other out here

i think you mis-read Blue's post.
he is just stating that despite what we may say, and whether it be right or wrong, the best thing will be for him to go with what he truly wants

Haha sorry about that, it does appear that I misread his post, I guess that's what happens when you haven't slept in a few days. My bad

I am one of the people that hates chrome, probably because I've seen most of them with cars that looked ghetto and beat up while playing hood rat songs. It gave me a bad image about chrome wheels with initial thought (poor quality, ghetto, gangster hood rat) no offense.

As I see you guys posting your cars with chrome wheels regardless of brands and quality, as long as it is done right, I am starting to appreciate it. Only few of you can pull it right. That is rare!
