Now that I am upgrading a few things next on the list is wheels. I am kinda torn between these:

TENZO TYPE-M BLACK

TENZO TYPE-M BLACK W/RED LIP

HP RACING LIGHTINING

So I am just undecided between the rims. The reason for the red rip is because I have the 2 tone RED/BLACK interior. Thanks for the inputs guys.

Get the ones you have pictured 2nd. Although they might look a little too busy and cluttered. Since it's black on black, but who knows.

I'm feeling that cuzco black wheel. I think that may look surprisingly good.

Been looking at this myself for my BB GT. I'm still undecided as well, but leaning towards Konig Crosshair... which looks pretty similar to your HP Racing Lightning selection. Not sure how weight or TPMS ability compares. Black on black is a bit much for my preference, but depends on the vibe you're aiming for.

I sort of agree. I like any of the styles shown.

When I get home I will post some pictures up of my car. But the next thing is for the Tenzo wheels they only come in 18x8, or you can get 19x8.5. Not really sure if I want to go with a 19" but who knows. As for the HP Racing they come in a 18x8 in the front, and 18x9 in the rear. What are you guys' thoughts on 18" vs 19" wheels?

I think the third would be the best, time attacked is over played imo

you have good taste man... Any of those wheels would look great. My vote is for wide 19"

Did you make a decision yet? I have been seriously considering the matte black Cusco's for my Nordic Green. I think those look pretty badass. If so, post some pics.

If you photoshop fellas could use his pics and put on the Cusco's and post em that would be excellent, thanks

I'm going with the red black scheme for my car as well. I was going to go for red/black wheels but ended up going with a red/silver/chrome wheel instead.

I'm getting Tenzo Type-M version 1's in 18x8 with the red lip this weekend hopefully. What offset do you recommend?

Black wheels on a black car just dont work for me. It looks like you have a genuine MS body kit. You should go with a gunmetal wheel to match the metallic grey on the body kit. I like all the wheel designs, nice choices.
