Need advice on wheels...

Well I sold my stock 17" chrome wheels and now I'm on the hunt for replacements. I'm wanting to get away from chrome so I'm either wanting to go with silver powdercoated or black. I've got to find something by the end of the week and I'd like to pick them up from Discount Tire because I've had really good service with them in the past. I've got a few options together, just wanted some opinions.

Here's what we are starting with:


Now since this picture I've tinted all my side markers and rear reflectors and added my Bermuda Black LEDs so I've got some black accents on the car now.

Here's my choices narrowed down:

I prefer the first set, the Voxx Legra's, the other ones are either too "busy" or too "Dub-y" for my tastes.

PERSONALLY, I like the Voxx that 843 mentioned. But they look shiny, almost chrome-like to me and that might not be the look you are going for. I think the 4th one is too busy. Either of the other two look good, with the 3rd one (Konig Zero-In) having some black to complement your mods, as well as having a bit of red, which goes very well with silver and black.

Any all black that you like? I think that would be best. The silver of you car and of rims will rarely match. Just my 2 cents.

The first Voxx are kinda shiny but I'm thinking its maybe just the picture. A buddy of mine really likes these:

I have to say that they aren't bad but you guys may think they are too busy.

Voxx are nice, but I think that the last set would look really good against the silver, especially if you are going with silver/black theme. If they are busy, what are the supposed to be doing? :)

My wife actually doesn't like the Legra's. I'm wanting something kinda Euro looking...BBS style.

Then go with the DR-19 (the last ones, I think)

I'm leaning toward the Legra's or the DB-19. I'm afraid the Legra's are going to be too "chrome" looking.
