Which Wheels?

I am about to sell my current wheels (G37). I like the wheels, but they kind of look tacky when I'm stealing another brand's wheels.
Nonetheless, I am looking at Varrstoen 1.1.1 or 2.2.1. I want 18" because it helps a little with MPGs (I lost about 3-4 MPG switching from OEM).
Also looking at XXR 521 or XXR 527. I like the "look" of the 521 as it looks like the BBS LM and it is cheaper. I like the 527, but it looks so small in the picture I see online. Only 527 I like on our TLs is from TLdude. I'm trying to get a gunmetal/hyper black kinda look.
Unless you guys have other options for me
I like more spokes on wheels, don't like when there is only like 2-5.
And what would be a good size so I don't have to roll fenders or have to buy spacers? (I think I know, but since I'm making this thread anyways, mind as well ask)
These are for a NBP TL btw

I think you should go with any of the XXRs in the above-mentioned size by jwrong.
as far as color, unless you're going for the all-black look, gunmetal or bronze/gold I'd you haven't considered those.

Thanks for letting me know about the XXR 530.
I have been busy trying to get a TE-37 and I almost got it for a insanely low price! Too bad the guy backed out and wanted to keep them, but I'm on the top of his list next time he does this again.
Do you think the 530's would look small like the 527's? They look similar to the RJ Legends and F14's, which I like. So atm, I'm looking at the RJ Legends or XXR 530. HMMM

may need to roll with the 235 I think. the 20 offset will be close to the fender
I drove with 225/40/18 on 18x9.5 +22 and didn't notice any significant changes or sacrifice (except steering being slightly heavier but that could be due to the 18x9.5 and not the tire itself)

^well that is what I'm going to get. I got a good deal on Conti' Extreme Contact DW for $104 a tire + 80$ for discount tire replacement certificates yipeee
I wonder how pain in the ass is switching out the tpms from my current wheels to the new wheels.

Called NLM today and they told me that they would put a price and full specs in a couple of weeks.
I'm still not sure if I want the XXR 530's now because I'm not sure when they are coming out. XXR site says Jan 2012. NLM says early 2012. NLM Cust. Rep. said that all they know is early 2012 so basically it could be Jan-April & that XXR is sometimes not as good as they want to be on "ETAS". I'm not a patient guy.
