Those wheels look fine. Spend you money on something else. For the $1000+ you're gonna spend; you could have a nice suspension, and some money left over for beer.

If your going to ask for suggestions, you need to tell us what you do with your car and how much money you want to spend etc. I mean my favorite 5-spokes are Advan Kruezers but that might be totally the wrong wheel for your application.

My favorites are stock GTUs rims powdercoated white, or Volk TE-37's.

I think those wheels look fine too. I have 16 inch Konig Monsoons on my car and they have a pretty deep dish, and some pretty thick spokes. Havent really seen anything that I liked better than what I bought. Well, maybe a few here and there
