Default Need some new rim suggestions

Ok so I've been living with these 18" OZ Racing Superleggra wheels on my 07 for a while now. I blacked them out with plasti-dip and it made a huge difference but I'm starting to want a bigger set. Maybe 19"s or 20"s depending on how big I want the tire. Definitely staggered but I'm not much of a rim guy. Any suggestions on what would look good with my car?

are you willing to sell your old rims once you get new ones. My car is black so i would take the plastidip off, but if you gave me a good price i would definitely buy.

Black RTR wheel style would be somewhat similar to what you have just larger with more curves, FR500 wheel style might look great too!

Agreed, the RTR rims are really sweet looking with the multi-spoke design.

I had some OZ Ultraleggera's on my Speed6, those were great and decently light rims. Wish they had those in 19's..

I would also recommend the RTR rims, or if you are looking for something a little different, the black GT500 2010 style rims would go well with the GT500 look you have going.

The RTR's would look great as others above have mentioned....and as an alternative, check out the SVE Drift Wheels. I had a chance to see these in person recently and they really good too.

see link (rim size is for reference only)

I'll preach motegi. Mine might look nice on your car but I'm mobile right now so you'll have to go to my profile. Mine are motegi mr116 and i don't know all their sizes.

Yeah I have no problem selling these, and that's no problem i'd take off the plastidip. How much would you offer?

I really like the RTR rims, and the sve drift are incredibly similar. I also like the unique kind of look the 2010 GT500 rims give. I don't see much difference in the first two. Now I have to decide either matte black or the flat shine black...

I am weighing in with Roush 20's in Hyper Black. Like mine but not chrome. Or, switch it up and get chrome or machined.
