Which wheels? Need your opinions!

I'm in the market for wheels right now, plan on purchasing in the next month. My car is an '08 AT in PMM (close to AM). Picture is below. I plan on going with 19" and between 8" and 9" width. Maybe even up to 9.5". I dropped moderatly on a-spec suspension.

What are your opinions on these wheels?

RJ Legends
Raven Black
I've seen these on an AM, looked sick.



Tenzo-R Type-M V2
Black with Machined Face
These are similar to the above wheels in terms of black powder coating on the inside with polished face.




Anyone have any other suggestions? I like the mesh style, wanted something either gun metal, or like shown above. Lip is ok, but I don't want a monster lip. i'd like tos pend no more than $2500 wheels and tires.

Here's a pic of teh car they will go on. Sorry for the angle on the picture, it's the only one I have of my car with teh a-spec kit on:




Thanks in advance for any of your help!!

Ronjons FTW! I'm really thinking about getting those too...either raven black or liquid graphite, legend or inspyre. I think the legends rock personally. If I were you, I'd go with the legends in either graphite or raven black (I have an AM '06)

WalkerUA6, I'd love some of those brands, but that's big $$ that I don't have. I'm a baller on a budget...LOL.

I'm very open to wheel suggestions. Anyone have anything they think would look good? I'm going for a sporty, but luxurious kind of look. I don't want flat out baller wheels, but I also don't want like superlight tuner wheels.

I can gaurentee you if u buy those ronjons new and new tires (1500+?) you could end up buying "used" rims/tires in those "baller" brands.

Do you want a lip on the rims? If you don't mind that, TSW makes a couple of SICK designs that have decent lips, nothing too crazy. Cadwell (I'm still entertaining these too...1.75" lip on 8" width) in gunmetal machined with polished lip, or Jarama in hyper silver. Links:

Just some other suggestions...

Honestly, I love the RonJon legends, because they looks hot and they are in fact legends.... that said, it all depends on what you like. I've been looking for a long time and have seen a few pics of some guy (can't remember who) with Work VS-XX rims on a normal TL (mine's a TLS). They were gold with about a 2 inch polished silver lip, and damn, they were HOT. The fact is, I would have bought them the night I saw those pics, but I'd need spacers to clear my Brembo's and I didn't want to go that route.

Check them out, and if you want to fish around for hours, I'm sure there are pics of that guys TL on here somewhere. Personally, I'd spend a few hours looking for the pics and spend your money wisely. Of course, RonJon legends are my second choice but as others have said, a lot of tuners have those these days, so if I were you, I'd go with a bit more exotic so as not to blend in.

For mesh style rims and not too expensive, I would get the Axis Pentas.

What about Enkei's? Not too pricey. Good luck with the search.

Thanks again for all your help. What's your feelings on the Axis Shine's?



Some fitment questions though...

My options are 19X8.5 and 19x9.5

I'd love to run the 9.5. Offset is 20 or 40. I'm 99.9% sure that the 20 won't fit. How about the 40? I don't want to stretch the tires. I just want normal fitting tires on it.

Also, does anyone know if these will clear BBK? My next purchase is a Willwood 4 piston BBK.

Thanks!

Yeah, I saw those pics. That's what turned me onto them. I guess my biggest questions now is about fitment. I'm dropped on A-Spec suspension BTW, so like .75" rear and 1" front (it's the MT suspension and I have an AT)
