Help me decide on wheels for my SA

I have a gsl-se suspension on it. Going to do a ford 8.8 swap but keeping the 4x114.3 pattern and stock width. What wheels should i go with.. I have seen a few different ones but I'm leaning toward the SSR mesh.. Going with 15" wheels.. Thanks. A few pics of the car attached.. Post some pics also if you have them.. I don't like the current wheels i have installed..

Perfect choice if you ask me. If you paint them similar to how Onlyonthurs has his painted, the white / black combo looks great as long as the lips are polished.

I vote for those. Those would look awesome on your ride! I also agree with the black centers. Would provide a nice contrast.

I like your curent wheels. Your set up is a more modern look. The mesh wheels are nice looking, but I like them best on a car with factory body lines.

If you want the centers powdercoated PM me, I can give you a reasonable price. I will need a close up pic of the break line between the lip and mesh, no flash.

I believe the center can be removed. The allen screws hold it in.. Am I right? What color should i coat them? Send me a price. Was going to have a local shop do them
