Say NO to Chrome... other than that just browse online and see what style you like. Your car, your money.. don't let us choose for you.
If anything narrow it down to like 3 and start a poll to see which people like best.

You can even go to a book store & pick up the 2010 wheel guide. Hundreds of pages of wheels to choose from.

I have an 04 gray that came with chrome Sterns, I don't care for them. I'm not big on chrome anyway, and these already have some chrome flaking and rivets coming loose. I plan to change to black when my budget allows, perhaps Enkei, I'll choose when I get ready to buy.

NO CHROME ! get something with 6+ spokes maybe black with some tints would look good. or if thats not your style check out some silver OZ's

Take a look at the Axis Hiro 19". You can choose the style on it, but bang for buck Axis makes a great wheel that won't bend up on you the first time you hit a pothole. Toyo Proxes are a good tire to add to the wheel, excellent wet/dry summer grip. Good luck man!

Yeah i wanted a set of RPF1's 18s in black, but theyre too expensive for me.
I would love a set of Hiros, but again theyre pretty expensive brand new.

Tires for 19 inch rims are crazy $$, im trying to stay with 18's

Entirely understandable. Sometimes you gotta pay to play, haha. Check out the Enkei Performance EV5's--they run about $195 a wheel and then you can get a pretty descent set of four tires for around $800.

Is $1600 more your price range? If you wanna keep your TPMS it will prolly run you an additional $100 for the swap from your OEM wheels/rotate and balance.
