I suggest get the Carrera Lightweight wheels @ Wheels Dynamics and ask for Carlos..why? coz' it's so easy to clean and it made a difference that way it look

Here's my old sig with my old wheels (17")


and here's my new sig with new wheels (18") from wheels Dynamics.
*look @ my sig*

I suggest a couple options. tirerack.com, they have a basic selection of name brand wheels (i would get BBS), ebay, see what looks good to you, Fikse, or custom made rims. My friend went the custom route, it cost him like 1,800 for 18's but he got to choose what they looked like, check to see if there are any wheel shops with a cnc machine.

If you mind me asking, how much did you pay for the rims and tires together?
thanks

I think I paid $1600 with free shipping for the whole set. I was going to buy separate wheels and tires (Kumho's) but might take me awhile before i could save up for it sO I end up buying the set eventhough the tires that goes with it is not the greatest, just an average
