Define more aggressive ride. Are you looking to lose that nice squishy ride for a harsher low profile tire with larger rims?

These are the wheels I put on my car. Maybe not aggressive enough, but at least they clean very easy!

Raycanales - Those don't look stock at all. Jsch - looks good and much easier to clean then my stock 87 SDL wheels.
