If you really like the mesh wheel look why not buy something like these

And then just get them refinished black. While the wheels listed above are a little more money than the XXR they are a much higher quality wheel and they will actually fit the car much better. Do a little searching and also post in the for sale area that you are looking for wheels and you will get some good options. There is actually alot out there you just need to look.
thanks alot for the info man, and yeah it makes more sense if your going to do something and stick with it for a while minus well do it right and get the quality stuff. i've seen some online pics of replica wheels just going to pieces with a spin out its honestly scary thinking that your rolling on something that can go to pieces with the right amount of force, not saying oem or high quality wheels are indestructible but they can take some beatings. anyways i'll keep an eye out for rims on the for sale section and prob open a WTB thread. thanks dude! btw; those weds on the last link left my mouth watered

also i'd love to go 255 or bigger but i think thats going to require alot of fender work, especially if im going to lower the car and still want to keep some decent camber.

Aside from wrong tire fitment and high horsepower, that tein suspension is not made for lowering the way you want to lower your car.

I used to be in the whole hellaflush look and wanted to go force induction also.

I decided to ditch all that and I've been getting into a lot of the local autox and enjoying the car the way it was made for.
