Yeah, I'm having a heck of a time locating rims in the design I like...and in 17" also. So it's a tedious process. I just turned down Brabus VIs in 18" which were only 150 miles away.....all because I didn't want staggered either. sigh..
So the Angstroms are still on my short list but boy, are they expensive. I'll get them in a few months - and prob eat macaroni n cheese the rest of this year. But thanks for the links above though!

Due to the fact that you live in Toronto, I assume that your streets are full of potholes, I would go with the 18's like Blake said. there's nothing wrong with the Maidos, I was just saying that the HRE's are more geared towards performance because they are a lot lighter. The maido's look a lot better in my opinion, but again, it depends on what YOU want.

If you want just the looks, go with 19s. If you are worried about fixing rims, go with 18s. The 19s aren't that bad in ride quality for me, but the big problem is bent rims.

if you ask me for my opinion i would recommend a rim with no tiny screws on there. simply because of the cleaning. breakdust is really hard to be washed of, believe me. i would choose a rim with an evenly surface not a lot of corners or edges. but it got to be some 19"

[QUOTE=blk_clk500]i have a power washer....wont that wash out all the break dust???[/QUOTE
If you wash them everytime after you drive. I won't see a problem. But if you drive for just a week. Then you'll already gonna have a lot of cleaning to do. I don't even wanna talk about 2 weeks or longer.

Before you powerwash those replicas, you better be pretty positive your powerwasher's pressure isnt high enough to take the finish off the wheels.
