let me know what you guys think about these rims

I was planning on painting the outside moonlight white just like the m37s, these look a little like the incurve ic s5 but they only come in 20’s and I want 22’s, the incurves cost a little bit more to

I also thought about getting these too

I like how these look on the lexus and they would probably be hittin hard on the m37

I think any of these wheels will look awesome on the whip but leaning toward the first one ( will be painting the outside moonlight white) who knows my mind might change again. Let me know what you guys think, thanks fellas

The most important thing you'll need to look at when buying a wheel is making sure they're of good quality. I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but cheap wheels will not be a good idea... One big bump and they can crack easily.

That said, based on the price those look OK. I've never heard of XO or Ace wheels, but that doesn't mean they're bad. I do know that usually if TireRack or Discount Tire offers them they're usually pretty decent brands.

I personally don't like matte black wheels, except maybe on a race car. I like the 2nd or 3rd ones, probably the second ones the best. The third ones look like a nightmare to keep clean. I really like the clean look of the 2nd ones personally.

thanks for the input man and that is exactly what I was thinking and what I know. I saw the ace alloy mesh 7 on another members ride and was like these would look good on my whip, same model, same color almost but different year, here is the link below

I really like the incurve ic s5 in machined black also but they come in 20's, the first website wheels (element wheels) the all black ones to me looks just like the incurve and that is why i was thinking about getting them and having them painted in moonlight white or machined black, that is the look I am looking for, the XO are very nice also, they remind me of the vossen vc3's and I think these would look nice on the whip too, not to mention the ace alloy mesh 7, as it stands right now, these are the top three in my book I just hope my mind doesn't change any, lol :facepalm:

I think they would look nice on the car except for the Miami matte one's. All those wheels are cast so I dont think it matters when it comes to durability until you start getting into the forged wheels, company, etc. The first one's would look nice if they are concave all around and if you painted them white and wanted to go back to black just use plasti dip to save money along with the ability to go back to white. If you go with 20"s I think lowering it would make them look nicer and fit the wheel well better but if you didnt want to do any of that stock height with 22"s look good. Here's one that could use a more aggressive offset IMO.
