so i may be selling my 20" mrr's and picking up a set of 18's or 19's with all season tires for summer and winter use. the future wifey will be using the car until once we close on our new place and get settled in. once that happens she'll prob take ownership and ill get myself a coupe or something. what would you guys suggest as a good alternative for wheels. im looking for no lip, matte or gloss black. keep in mind my ride is AW with some mods. check out gallery to get a better idea.

i dont want to spend a ton of money so the dpes and iforged out of the question. im thinkin vmr's or the new miros...maybe even oems. not sure, anyone got picks of AW with a set up im looking for?

also, used would be a good option for me so if anyone is lookin to sell there setup let me know

You should PM member DRANGED - he is selling his Forgestars 19" with minor damage for $1200 I think, great deal, and great seller. Too bad you can't keep your wheels bro, but you're getting a home and a wife out of it so it's all good. Good luck.

thanx man, its all good. she was going to get my car anyway eventually and i was going to bring it back to stock for her. im just not ready to strip it down completely just yet. im thinkin the wheels first because i need to get a winter set up anyway and then maybe once i decide on a new car for myself ill sell the rest of the mods and get something nice for the new ride next summer.

Then definitely PM DRANGED - he lives in Minn so I am sure he's seen a few winters there

Here's DRANGED's wheels:
