NEED HELP with rim decision.....

hi all....my car is in the shop right now getting a nasty new body kit on...the complete Vertex Lang!!!
Im running 19x8.5 Axis Hiros in bronze with Toyo Proxes T1Rs....
Ive got someone ready to buy my rims...cuz im ready to go a little bit more aggressive....
I dont wanna go with a standard spoke like i already have..
Im looking for something in a 12 spoke or there abouts...definitely in bronze or gold...staggered

perhaps
19x8.5 up front 19x9.5 in the rear
or
19x9 up front 19x10 in the rear

i love the sunk face style...i found an awesome rim..JDM...boyz zero 1 hyper..but they only come in 18s
i love the AME tracer FS01 ...but the bronze doesnt come in 19s..

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

I'm really feelin' the iForged wheels on your car shinka213. How do you like these? I believe they can do a custom finish for you too.

JLine 10RL3


Volk GTF (I've seen them in bronze too)

I like the volk gt-vs or the j-lines. Never heard of jlines before, but they look quality. What about these: http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheel...timeattack.htm . Time attacks but make it the shinka color. That would look neat and original.

I hope you keep your car for along time.

You'll never get your money back for expensive rims.

pat not alot of gold and bronze choices, but you could first choose the rim then get them powdercoated.

btw see everyone sunday, looks like its gonna be perfect outside
