Off to check out 986spyder and DJomlas's wheels...

Any other suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
YOUR RIDE IT LOOKING GOOD! I got my rims on ebay. So did DJomlas. There are some really nice silver ones like his for sale now on ebay also instead of black. But black would look cool on your car. Very cheap, only $699.00 for all 4!

I am checking out the rims that you mentioned. What are your thoughts on the 19" for $100.00 more (795.00)-- Pros vs Cons?

19s look cool, but you tend to loose allot of pickup when it comes to your flywheel trying to turn those big wheels. Plus tires for 19s are very expensive. Rear tires don't last very long if you are a daily driver and they are allot thiner in the side wall area. That's why I stick with my 18s. You never see people auto crossing with 19s for a reason, like I said you will loose some torque/pickup and you can feel your car moving sluggish when you want to merge into traffic.
