Need help deciding on rims!!
So as a birthday present I may be getting some new rims for my 8! But I don't know which ones I want. :/ Help me out here! So here's my favorites so far. My car is Sunlight Silver with a black lip, black emblems and black tail lights.
Gunmetal MB Weapon 18x8
Black w/ Red Stripe Konig Zero 18x8
Gunmetal TSW Thruxtons 18x8

zach: you should edit your first post to include a poll so people can vote.
If I have to pick between the 3, I go for the 1st one.

If I had to pick from those 3, I would go with the first. Also, I agree with Ross - you have 18x8, so why get another set? I'd go with 19s if I was you.
Do not go with the black/red combo on a silver - it really only looks good on black or red 8s.
If I might add a 19" suggestion in that price range - http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

I was thinking 19's but I just put on H&R Race Springs on my car, which provided a really low drop. I'm worried about it rubbing :/ Thanks for all the feedback!

My vote is for the MB Weapons in gunmetal.
If I were you, I would keep my eyes out for some used wheels in your price range. Better to spring for used quality wheels IMHO.

or how about a smarter road. instead of wasting your $400 - $800 on cheap wheels (that won't make your car look better), spend it on something else!! since you have lowering springs, whynot add a lip, or a spoiler, or an in-dash dvd player.
if you're gonna buy wheels, buy the correct size and offset. and go with a brand name wheel...
