there are many MANY wheels that look sicker....
what sort of look are you going for? stay mesh type? or dished out? or what. wheels are personal choice man. you also run 4lug...so great fitment will be tough to attain without some spacers...since 4x114.3 wheels in great offset dont come along aften

It all depends on how much you want to spend dude.

Or you can be like me and find good deals. When I had my hatch, I got mint 18" SSR MS1's, decent offset, zero rash, 4 LUG, half worn Falken Azenis 615s, and $120 rainbow lugnuts for........

I understand sometimes its annoying when ppl throw out random opinions on what others should do with their money. But in certain cases, I think its really helpful to be able to get suggestions from others. I know when I first got into the 240 game, I had NO IDEA what was going on or what was tasteful. As a result, I wasted ALOT of money. But now I thank God for the forums for keeping me up on game and doing their best to present ppl with options...

About $250 per wheel. http://www.wotm.com/vaes2184x.html

Some might call that pricey for a knockoff, but I don't think its too bad considering how few options there are out there for 4 lug. But stay on the lookout for sales. And they weigh about 22 lbs. Varrstoen will custom powder coat them for $300.
