Default Finally serious about a new set of wheels

The wheels on this (second) S have no curb rash, but have looked crappy since I got it - probably due to neglect and salt in Minnesota, originally - and me pretty much since then. I've been looking at wheels for the S forever, but have never been too serious about buying. I have always liked the wheels by Work (e.g., Emotion, Meister S2R). I've toyed with bronze or gold finish, too - but am not sure how that would look on a suzuka blue (wish I had the Laguna Blue Pearl!)

Any suggestions? All recommendations will be taken seriously. Thanks for your suggestions!

What is your budget? That will help with making realistic suggestions.

I was originally going to discourage gold, but...



( Maybe it's just the FMIC that makes ^ look so hawt. )

Is white an option?



Can't go wrong with silver RPF-1s, of which I'm unable to find a decent pix.

I like the gold/bronze on the blue.

Here are the Suzuka color threads:

Lots of examples in there.

You don't have to spend ridiculous amounts of money for wheels either; Rotas are just fine.

You can also find some really good deals from the sponsors in the Marketplace section.

Consider suspension when making the final call. If you are gonna be stock, I would definitely NOT go with the Enkei RPF1s that I want so badly....looks 100X better with a good drop.
