Decision Time: Which should I choose?

Need new tires, Thought i would get new wheels as well. I found these two, both are 18x7.5 235/40-18, come mounted with NANKANG NS-II tires, computer balanced, and shipped.

Katana GR-7 - White

Katana GR-7 - Black

Katana GR-7 - Silver

Katana GR-7 - Gun Metal

ALT RACING AT-298 - Silver

ALT RACING AT-298 - Black

NANKANG20NS-II - Tires


I am leaning towards the ALT Racing Silver but am not sure how they would look. I want both cruise and speed look, the way i look at it is i can cruise while having that speed look. I also need a front lip if ne1 has one for 2000 TL

Thanx Guys...

I'll give you two hints. Black is ugly as a wheel (blends in with the tire too much) and 5 spokes looks cooler than more spokes.

the ALT Racing silver. the blacks look like cheap plastic almost and the others doesnt look right with 9 holes in the center.. unless you can ask for center caps to cover the holes.

I would go with either the katana GR-7 silver or Gunmetal...

What color is your car? also, what kind of look are you going for?

Are you going for the tricked out 2 fast 2 furious look with limo tint all around, grd effects and all...

or are you going for the badass luxury/sport look with like 35% tint all around..

or some kind of hybrid?

If you are going for the tricked out and you want to show bling... get like the white ones on a white tl or black with a black tl.

Silver/gunmetal will go with any and for some reason the ALT Racing looks a little yellow...

The ALT racing silver look the best out of those choices. I don't like the universal wheels with the extra lug holes. Looks ugly with them.

Thats something i have a problem with, since i have 2 12's in the trunk, the back end is a little lower than the front, especially when i have more people in the car, so do i want lowering springs, adjustable springs, or fully adjustable springs with the damping adjustment? should i get all round or just the front, coz the back seems just fine to me. Advice appreciated and i will ty to take pics.
