in my opinion...wheels brands such as the one you are looking at, targets inexperienced wheel shoppers. No hate though, cause like you said, you are new to the import scene. After you get to know your wheel selection better...you will realize that for a similar price you can get a much more better looking, better quality, reputable wheel. When I first started, I really didnt know any better and I would see the ugliest wheel and think it was the sex. As for the wheel you picked..it just has cheap written all over it. Moreover, most of the users here have a import/euro style of tuning so our wheel choices are usually different from what you have picked, which is more of a domestic/american style wheel. How much is your budget though? Maybe we can help you find some better wheels in your price range.
At the end of the day it's all up to you ...my opinion is bias so just take what you want from it

Those rims would suit cars like Holdens/HSV/Fords etc (just my bias opinion) - I love JDM

offset is everything. But can you please just keep everything in one thread...you have 4 threads open right now, all on pretty much the same topic.

i personally don't like aftermarket wheels, unless the car is completely tricked out. If you go with 19s, the car will definitely look better lowered. Do you have the stock 17s, or the V6 18s? I like the OEM 18s on the V6...

Hey bro. Sorry for taking so long to reply. Here's some pics of my car with the rims.

Hope this helps. My rims are 20x8.5. Offset it high, 42. No rubbing at all. Tires are 235/35's. As for as if you should go with 20's, honestly it would be your personal decision. It really depends on the rim that you choose. I like the "look" of having more rim than tire so that's why I went with 20's. I, like yourself, have no plans on dropping it. I'm keeping it close to stock as much as I can although you can see in one of my shots that I did put in Artic White DRL's instead of the stock ones. For the rims I chose, 20's look fine, in my opinion. I also upgraded my HID lights to 8k instead of the stock 4300k and converted my fogs to HID 8k as well, replaced interior bulbs with artic white ones as well as dome lights and reverse and license plate lights.
Let us know what you do decide bro. I'm sure it will look great when you're finished with it.
Edit: I also painted part of the grill as you can see in the shot but left the other portion chrome to go with the wheels and trim. Added chrome license plate trims on both front and back as well.

Go with 235/35 tires. It will give you more sidewall and the tires won't have that stretched look. You won't have any rubbing or anything either.
