    Recommend me some 18" wheels.

    I'm starting up a shopping list of parts for my next car. I did a last minute change. Instead of a WRX, I'm going with a GS300. I think I'm through with the sport compact scene. Not sure if I want to go VIP, but it must be clean nonetheless. I need some more ideas for wheels. I'm thinking 18x8 BBS LM's. Staggered or not, I'm still not sure yet. Throw a few more ideas at me. Keep in mind this is a luxury car.

    If you go VIP, I'd go with Scara wheels.

    I'll still be around. Falnfenix, DrunkSaru, and Jcrwzr don't have Corolla's anymore and they're still around. I'll just be hanging around Lexstasy more. It's still going to take a little while to get the car.

    Oversized BBS wheels are sexy indeed. Maybe glossy black would be just right. I want the car to have matte black paint. The flat and glossy black would contrast even though they're the same color. :)

    GS300 is a good High Performance Luxury Base.
    Bride Seats, Huge Turbo kicking 600hp+, a decent lip kit, KW variant 3 coilovers, Brembo Big Brake kit, ....... this list of goodies can go on and on and on.....that would be kick ass.

    So your planning your rims for the car you wont get for a while?

    [IMG]

    the GS 300 comes with a 3.0L 220 HP engine, the GS 400 has a 4.0L 300HP. I would say go for that one <--- I almost actually bought a SC400 with some minor front end damage a couple months ago.

    That's a little too much and too heavy. I'll be somewhat dd'ing this car.
    I'm going for a sedan for convenience and insurance purposes.
    I landed a job, so I'll have the car in half a year or less. :D I'm going with the GS300 because of gas and more aftermarket support for the 2JZGE.
    I'll keep everyone posted. It will look similar to that. Not sure if want to go black or white.

    White, while white gets dirty easily, black will collect scratches and nicks over time that will be easier to spot than on a white vehicle.

    Cover of modified February 2010. :) I have that issue right here. Something along those lines. I'm not doing any full bumper replacements or making it into a track machine. I think matte white is what I'll do with. White always looks good on a luxury car and the flatness of the paint will show the details and curves of the body better. I'll gloss black the roof as well. Gloss black wheels to compliment.
