without telling us what kind of design you are looking for (mesh, 5 star, etc) here are some examples of nice wheels IMO.

My favorite is the group C wheel (black with silver lip), the Works are available with a black face, and the Enkei's are just classic, even without a black face.

Enkei screams ricer, i'd have to advise against those. go with some Buddy Club or Gram Lights, i'm pretty sure you could get some light-as-hell wheels with that color combo.

How does Enkei scream ricer? I guess West Mclaren, and Racing Hart (who have their rims made by Enkei) don't know any better either....

^Enkei makes high quality, light weight, affordable rims, that happen to be nice looking. What is 'ricer' about that?

5zigen just make a new FN01R-C. black center with chrome lip, same slim 5 spoke as the old fn01rc's. looks pretty nice, check it out. they tend to have good offset/sizes for 5x114.3 as well.

every set of Enkei rims that i've ever seen have been on a riced out POS Honda or Nissan. when you say West McLaren, you're talking about the F1 team, right? well, i was gonna say that they use OZ but that's ferrari, i had to take a look at their car. the statement that i made was off of personal expierence seeing Enkei rims on some of the shittiest cars i've ever seen, not on any nice cars. i retract my statement about them screaming rice, but personally i wouldn't want the same brand of rims as some riced out civic or 240, but that's just me.

Most of the pos 'riced' cars I see run some type of cheap knock-off, not an actual brand name rim.

enkei makes the rims for McLaren's F1 car.

I don’t understand why people are so worried about brand name..a quality wheel is a quality wheel.

What are you looking to spend?

that's such a bandwagon mentality. you are the people you hate.

judge a wheel based on price, sizing, offset, weight and strength. not on who owns em and who doesn't.

Enkei makes the stock fd spare tire... Actually arent bad for use as skinnies once you paint them a different color and toss a better tire on it.
