Default Black with polished lip?

Hey guys! My stock tires are going to be needing to be replaced within the next couple of months but instead of buying 4 new tires, I was thinking about going ahead and getting some rims and tires since I plan on doing that anyways. I have a spa yellow and I am wanting to get some wheels that are 18" and are black with a polished lip. I have seen several pics that I like but I cannot always figure out what kind of rims they are. It would be greatly appreciated if some of yall could post the name of the rims that comes in the style I am looking for. Pictures would be great too. I have a friend that works at discount tire and I was going to go check out some rims and prices tomorrow, but I need a few suggestions to get me started. Thanks in advance,

Mark

I would like to stay around the $1,500-$2,000 price range WITH tires.

I have been doing lots of searches and have gone through all of the rims gallery pages, I see many wheels I like but unfortunately I dont think I can afford a new set of volks or the work wheels which I like.

Also I think his name is TIREGUY. Im pretty sure he has the Volk GT-U's on his car now. I like the rims he had on his car before the GT-U's. Does anyone know the name of them?

you can get volks (like new) from the sale section for about that amount. I've seen new 18's go for 1400 with tires. Just gotta wait And for 400 extra, you can get them painted whatever color you want.

Thanks for the help guys! Ill go check out some rims today, I have a pretty good idea on what im looking for, just have to check some different brands. Ill probably just keep a close eye on the for sale section also.

Tireguy- man thats too bad those wheels were that expensive, that is exactly what im looking for. So im pretty much trying to find a wheel that looks similar to the ones shown above.

Well I went to Discount Tire today and the only wheel I liked in my price range was made by axis. There was not as many picstures I had to look through though. I forgot the name of the wheel I will post it later when I talk to my friend again, but they are 18x7.5 all around. The fronts have a 2 in. lip and the backs have a 3 in. They have a +42 offset. With kuhmo 712's its $1700 but im thinking about going with a different tire.

Hey Tireguy, my buddy chase called you while you I was there to get some suggestions on the sizes and stuff but you had already left.

And could someone please tell me if the setup I have listed above sounds suitable for my car. Thanks,

--Mark

Does anyone know if there is a problem with running 18x7.5 all around with a +42 offset? Im kind of new to buying rims so a little help is needed.


Also does anyone have any pics of an s2k with these rims. Or ANYTHING with these rims. I have just seen the couple pics that are on the axis website.
