so im finally getting rims because i need them desperately and im sick of everyone making fun of me because i dont have them so i was going to go with 18s since 20s will more than likely rub and 17 are too small sooo i wanted opinions these are have 3 favorites the first are motegis and the last two are konigs.. what do you guys think?

I like the first ones, but they're all pretty nice. The only thing I dislike about them is the screw thingy's along the lip. But they all should look nice (:
 
let me answer your misconceptions first:

20s WILL NOT rub if you get the RIGHT WHEEL AND TIRE


if that is the case, then pick out some wheels and ill be able to tell you if they fit and will or will not rub without fender work (which isnt that hard anyway). however, i can already tell now that im going to be fighting you since i was never and never will be a fan of black/machined wheels.

about the wheels you chose:

hot swaps are UGLY, so screw those. the other two wheels are exactly the same minus the company making them, so you pick which is cheaper. if youre looking for suggestions on wheel STYLES i can give you some. it looks like youre trying to blend your wheels with your black car...
 
i love how you can find a post from bio on every thread about wheels on this site. and it always seems like he has the best advice. i agree with either the first or third wheels, they basically are the same wheels just with a different number of studs. and since i'm not a fan of studs, i vote number 3.
 
its a 4 door so you need a nice mesh wheel like a HP lightning, id go with a 20, given the car is lowered and has a nice stance
 


If you are afraid of getting 20s then why not go 19s? Any style rims with black always make them appear smaller. 19s would look great.
 


well..
#1 i have always liked the black on black look since ive never been able to work with a car before i wanted to do it and i like the chrome look to all of them i thought it would break it up nicely.

#2 the sizes for the first are 17x7.5, 18x8, 20x8.5 the second are 18x7.5 18x8 18x9.5 and 20x8 the thirds are 18x7.5 and 18x8

#3 around here its way to hard and expensive to find 19r tires..

#4 i like black rims better than all chrome. always have.

#5 you guys really dont like the screws? i thought they were nifty.

#6 i will be honest the offsets and all that when it comes to rims completely escapes me i have no clue so i would appreciate your input bio. and i would like to avoid fender work, its just not something i have time for working 60+hrs a week and starting a intense nursing program in the fall.

#7 and bio i understand if you dont like the black on black but im not the type of person to get mad or fight with someone just because their opinions are different than mine, i like when people give me their opinions when they disagree with me. my thing is i dont want chrome its too effin heavy for no reason so find me sexy 18 or 20in rims that look like chrome that i can get 650 for the set like i can the first ones and we'll just have to discuss it lol

youre limiting yourself severely by saying 650 for a set of wheels. mostly anything i pick out is going to be $200+ per wheel because of the style of wheels i like.

if you like the black on black, do you want a black wheel with a chrome lip? if so id suggest going at least 18s since black minimizes things and makes them look smaller. a set of 19" black wheels will look like they are 18s.
 
well the ones i picked are chrome lip. the 1st ones i actually have seen at rent n roll which i would buy outright not finance. they are really pretty. :) those i think are the ones im going to go with would the twentys in that size fit?
