Rims Dip stock

So I am looking to buy one of these cars and see there are two stock rims 17.8 and 18.8. I can't really find pictures of those rims dipped with Gloss.
For good looks and keeping cost down do you suggest staying with Stock 18.8 rims black gloss and drop the car down an inch in the front only? Here is one im interested in

Sorry for the questions just new to this

This is going to blow your mind.... There are stock 19x8 wheels as well!! What is it you are hoping to accomplish by dropping only the front 1”?

Those look like 20’s, and the car is lowered. Here is my car stock height with 18x8 wheels. Just to give you a picture of what that size looks like with the wheel gap. The 2nd pic is with stock 19x8 wheels

If you want your car to be low and have no wheel gap like in that second pic then you will need to lower the car and have bigger rims. Which means you will worry about bottoming out and need to pick your setup carefully. But its worth it! Heres my car lowered and with 20inch rims.

I saw one today with Tesla 19 inch rims and it look good. I think I like stock 19.8 rims size and suggestions on rims about 100 a piece I could buy Tesla rims online for about 150 a rim.. This looks like no drop correct. I want to nice look without modding

It is hard to visualize what rims are best for the grey acura. I think that color is the Polished Metal Metallic. Any good pictured of rims on this color is that is hte correct color

The pic with the tesla rims does appear to be stock ride height.

check out this thread for cars of a similar color.
