it all depends on what you're looking for. if you're looking for an aggressive look, go for wider rims with lower offsets. i would go with 19's instead of 18's.

If you're getting wheels with a lip get 19's, 18's usually look smaller than stock because of the shorter spokes. If the spokes go all the way out to the lip 18's look great. Especially with a nice concave spoke.

Just be aware that if you go with 19's you will have a "thinner" tire on. So in some area's potholes might be an issue.
