Looking for wheel ideas to put on the Shinka

Wife wants something in the chrome look for the most part and we want to bump up to 19s.

Any ideas on this. Or another color. Type of rim? And should be go staggered or stay the same size all the way around?

Thanks again for any advice!

HRE

BBS
under pressroom and then picture library

i prefer HREs but BBS rims are nice too. they make wheels for F1 teams such as BAR and ferrari.

get HREs and if price isnt an issue buy me a set too!

If I had the cash, I'd go with these www.ccwheel.com



or these:



or even these:



I ended up with the Kazera KZ-A in chrome and they look fantastic, but if I had my $$ to spend I'd definitely go for some ccw's, they're very light and the workmanship,fit, and finish is beyonf extraordinary. I'd also look into SSR's, they're also pimp and light, and there's also Davin wheels who make some sick **** styles.

They look pretty good. Just how light are they and how much does it cost?

they start at 2495.00 for 18s, and from other people's posts I've read and some of the Spec Rx7 guys I've talked to (most of which run 17s and 18s) their 19's hover around 20-22 lbs or something like that, maybe even less but I'd have to go back and reread to get an exact number. They're amazing in person as well, we have a Lexus Sc300 (maybe 400?) running around town with a 2jz swap and he runs 10 second 1/4s (built by boostlogic, local badasses) and he has a set on his car, they're gorgeous
