Which Style would best suit my car?
Hey guys,
Lately I've been thinking about doing a new wheel setup just because I dont feel like im getting the most potential outa my widebody with my current wheel specs.
I dont really like that im running a spacer on the rear I feel like im kinda cheating myself when I could be running a wider rim. So Im coming to you guys for some opinions.
I'm usually extremly decisive on exactly what I want for my car but this time I honestly just cant deciede so I figured I might as well gather some opinions. So here's what I have that play's into deciding.
In my opinion my current setup makes my car look sporty/functional. I feel like my car gives off a very functional appeal to it. Maybe Im wrong but I really want to keep/aim for that look.
The volks would be perfect if they were wider but for the sizes im looking to achieve not really to possible without hacking the wheels up and turning them into a whole nother wheel really.
I have a few wheels choices in mind all will supply the sizing I want/need to achieve the aggresiveness im looking for. Im between rims with a lip and rims that are concave. Im affraid if I go with HUGE lips it might look cool but itll lose the sportiness. But If I go concave it wont really hold that "WOW" factor.
The sizing I will be going is * Tire sizes will be chosen to give the same look I have now.
Front: 18x11 - 18x11.5
Rear: 18x13 - 18x13.5
The entire rim regardless of choice will most likely be coated Matte black (which Ideally is to preserve that look im aiming for)
So here are the choices - place a vote and if you wanna give a reason why below or have second thoughts a diffrent rim etc. give me your opinion.
Again as always thanks guys!
Here's my current setup
And Here's the choice's
1. The infamous ccw lm20
2. ccw lm5
3. Nessen Forged s7.1
4. Nessen Forged s5.0
5. Adv.1 6ts
6. Adv.1 8ts

I love concave. And I love te37's. Keep the TE's. 
I guess if I had to pick out of the bunch, id say the lm20s... but eh.
Oh, and concave wheels look 10x better on a widebody s2000 then wheels with lip. Keep that in mind.

Its a custom metal widebody the front are always extremely wider to but the rear bumper an front fenders were made to look oem.
If you click my build thread and read through it itll show somewhat step by step what they did.

i agree that if you want to stick to the sporty/functional look stay away from the webspoke/deep dish wheels, it's going in a completely different direction. i think either of the adv.1 would be solid choices and maybe even the nessen s5.0.
if you want a little more wow factor you might consider powder coating the wheels to match the roll bar.

whats your current wheels sizes tire sizes?
the te's look great and is one of the most sought after wheels this is. the lm20 is neat to theres another car tho in like that same color that has those in full matte black. i havent seen really one like yours with the te's in the matte black with your body style color combination so id stick with what you got. plus what kind of power are you making bc if your have some really huge butt wide wheels its just that you will loose performance w/o enuff power to go with it.
oops edit
now that i saw your build thread dude wtf dont touch those te's they are allready 10.5 inchs wide!!!!! your not gonna get a wider tire unless you change your offset and then you wont have that look that i think you want. keep what you got it looks good dont doubt yourself.
