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!

I would go with the HRE's if you're concerned about performance, they are lightweight wheels. If you want more show than go I like the maido wheels.

Sorry, I meant Maido. 19's look awesome, but I went with 18's on my C because I didn't want to risk the greater chance of bending a wheel and/or harsher ride quality.

I like the last wheel you posted.

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.

Bent rims are definately a pain in the a$$. the potholes are so bad here I bent 17's. But then again insurance covered it. Blk clk, just go with whatever you want.

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"

7 is very nice. I would stay away from the Maido... way too pimp... they will de-class your car.

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.
