First off let me say welcome

You will find lots of pictures on this site so use the search function.

I recommend you start with Rays Wheel thread first: Calling all RAYS

there is another thread to look at too that has a ton of aftermarket rims (i'm too lazy to go search for the exact thread). check it out and see what you like best. personally i'm looking to get some bronze colored as they seem to look pretty nice with the NG.

i say if you want some new wheels without the hassle of rolling fenders etc. I would go with either an 18 or 19 inch with an 8 or 8.5 width all around and a conservative offset like maybe a +40 or higher maybe run some 245 tires too.

I didn't care if I rolled the fenders or not so I ordered Volk GT-S 19x8.5 front +36 19x9.5 rear +37. It's semi aggressive but it makes the car look a whole lot better. With those wheels run a 235 or 245 tire front with a 275 rear tire

gold or bronze would look wicked on a green car

36 offset for 19 X 8.5 also depend on tire size, u might want 245|35

40 offset for 18 x 8.5 on 245|40
