Here is a pix of my car with the 18" Carlsson's with the Diamond finish. I got the entire setup from Tire Rack. The car has not been lowered or had the shocks changed.

Akuma, if you take a lok at the Carlsson's abpve, you will see what I mean. Those rims have a very shallow lip. IMO they look as big as my BBS LMs. Again... keep wheel weight in mind... it really affects performance.

My wheels are 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. The Carlsson wheels curves in toward the inner wheel providing a nice lip that is deep enough to show off the wheel. I don't have any side pictures but I am sure you can find some out there. Also, I wanted to clean looking wheel that was easy to wash.

I am trying to make the same decision. I am pretty certain I am going to go with an 18" wheels, just because I personally think a 19" is more wheel than I want. But I am still trying to make a style decision. I have always liked a more open wheel. I use a mesh style on my Supra and i use the HRE 648 on my Escalade. But I am not certain what i want on this car. Woud you all mind posting pics of your wheels, or any suggestions. Its a hard decision so I am taking my time.
Thanks
