personally, i prefer the thinner spoked look on these cars and i like to have a lip on both the front and rear.

but, whichever you choose, make sure you get a good/great tire. i am using the Hankook Ventus V12's, right now, and love them.

Quality and about $3k. But for the price reps aren't bad. I have some AMG reps on now and they have been great! No vibrations, no problems.

Do reps get bent easier? I would love to get bigger rims but the cost is too great right now.

Depending on how you drive. This is my second set of reps and I haven't bent one wheel. I don't drive real crazy and don't push my car too much. They hold up and look great, can't beat it for the price.
