Help!! Need a hand in choosing a nice looking mesh wheel. I've got a few picked out but wanted to get some opinions or see if anyone had any other suggestions:

1. Konig Imagine 18x7.5 +45 25.3 lbs - Opal or Silver (love the rivets)
[attachmentid=12284]

2. ADR M-Sport 18x7.5 +48 ??? lbs - Hyper Sliver (I like odd numbered pairs of spokes for some reason)
[attachmentid=12285]

3. Ace Arius 18x7.5 +43 ??? lbs - Hyperblack (Same reason as above). Will +43 offset be a problem with stock springs?
[attachmentid=12286]

4. ASA AR1 18.7.5 +52 22 lbs - Sliver
[attachmentid=12287]

I will probably be putting 225/40/18s on whatever I choose.

I know there are nice looking BBS meshes but I'm trying to put the reasonable price range of below $250 per wheel.

Thanks in advance!

I'd rule out number 1 just because over 25 lbs is seriously portly. Number 4 doesn't look bad, and 22 lbs isn't horrible. Wish you had weights on the inner two.

So, final answer: ASA AR1

option number 2, IMO.

i was looking at getting those style wheels, but in black. it has a big lip, and i really like that. plus, the wheels aren't too busy looking. there's a lot of space to see what's going on behind them. just make sure and paint your calipers, it will look 10 times better!

ADR FTW!!
