What would look best on a black TII??

Hey guys I'm in the market for some new rims for my Black TII and I dont know what I would like to get. I'm looking for something not too heavy (no DUBS) and something that will really make the car stand out. If anyone has any ideas please share pics/info/specs please!

If money is no object get some Volks CE28s or TE37. Even some RS Watanabes would be sweet.

not a big fan of the 3spoke rims. they look great on 240's and skylines, but not so much on 7's.

Enkei RP-F1, 15.5lbs each for 17x8's or 17x8.5's. Shop around and you can get a set for under $1k, there is no better deal in lightweight, quality rims. Also comes in 9" wide that'll fit the rear if you want a stagger. I'd go 17x8.5's, 30mm offset and 235/40/17's all around. That's the setup I want anyway.

No thanks I've had blonde's before and each new one was more annoying than the last.

I didn't say with tires. $239/ea here, but I'm sure if you PM Rishie from AutoRnD he could meet or maybe beat that price. http://www.edgeracing.com/wheels/enkei_wheel/

They're too light to be SM legal (15x7's are under 10lbs), SM requires >13lb wheels at a minimum for strength and cost reasons.

5zigen FN01s aren't as light but similarly priced in the $200-250 bracket. They have low offset 9 and 10" options too.

http://www.edgeracing.com/wheels/5zigen/

that said, alot of guys run them (including myself soon) so its not the most unique solution.

I'm getting some sportmax 006's on my black tii in the next couple weeks. I'll be going 17x8 all around, +35 offset, 225/45/17.

They look like the bbs's pictured above ^^. But cheaper and sexier in my opinion, reason being the lip on it looks great.
