Getting new wheels looking for ideas!

I have a green 02 TL type S and i don't see too many modded TLs that color so I'm stuck for ideas. my car is already dropped and i want to finish the look with some new wheels. id like either 18s or 19s and Im trying to get the hellaflush look. I'm thinking of getting some gold bbs lm replicas but they're hard to find especially in 19s. i also like the look of theses line corse wheels.

i just can't narrow down my choice on color so let me know what you guys think! i like the satin black, smoked chrome, and even the hyper black. heres some pics of my car so you have an idea of what I'm working with. if i go with the gold i plan on putting the gold emblems on.

go with gold for sure, but dont put gold emblems on, it hurts the look IMO. also, you could think about the XXR 006 in black with a copper lip.....if i could get some locally, thats what i would get, but theyre hard to find.

I'm in the bay area but I doubt it will be that much cheaper at a local dealer than online. I also found these and I like them but I can't tell if this is a legit site or if there's some sort of catch. What do you guys think about fitment with 8.5 front and 9.5 back?

Gold on green..yikes.

A machine face, polish, or silver wheel would compliment the color, black or gunmetal would blend and not stand out. Depends what kind of look you want I suppose.

I agree green and gold have always been a good combination! Plus if I'm not happy with it then i can always still go for a different look. I hope that site has more than one set of those rims!
