Which wheels should I get?!?
Well its inevitable now, I need new tires soon and I've decided to change the wheels. I want a darker shade (maybe a matte black or dark grey). I have narrowed it down to a few options and I cannot decide which I like best. Any input???

I like number 4 as well- The red lip has been played out IMO

I don't know what your budget is but if your looking to go with a split 5 spoke then take a look at the Work CR kai in a 18/9.5 ET38 in gunmetal. There a little meaty but strong and appealing

You should check out the new Enkei PF01. there pretty similar to choice number 4, and are built much better.

S-tech will be ok when running 265/35/18 but make sure you get +38 et. If you shop around you should be able to buy them for around 1500 shipped
