depending on how much money you have.. you are probably only going to get those ones in the first pics they are xxr 501s

#2 work vs something 1500+ easy#3 ssr formula mesh with that offset and not a stepped lip 1200+#4 something i dont know probably rare and $$$$

the 1st and 3rd options seem to be the most cost effective. the 2nd and 4th will probably be a lot more expensive.for 2 and 3 you will need to be 5 lug

eh... wheel n00bs

1) sportwax (now call XXR or something like that) 501 model (car belongs to Teddy btw, a member here). Theyre bootleg wheels

2) work vs kf

3) SSR reverse mesh

4) AME Shallen CX

somewhat true.

#1 only comes in 4 lug and is super cheap, being that they are CAST wheels.#2 only come in 5 lug unless you have FWD offsets, in that case they are available in 16" 4x100 (mostly hondas) <- cool pic i found on flickr

#3 come in both 4 lug and 5 lug applications, but the larger the diameter, I doubt you'll find in 4 lug. Very common in 15" diameters. Oh.. I forgot to mention, I believe they're discontinued... so you'll have to dig deep in the internet to find them. They're still a pretty penny though, going rate is around $1000 for a set in 15"#4 only come in 5 lug applications

If it's going to be your daily driver, get something from XXR. They're cheap and easy to find. Plus if they crack or get curb rash, you don't feel as bad about it.

That 180 looks silly.

Big rear bumper, small skirts and an even smaller front bumper...
