I like the stock rims better.

Just my opinion.

I have been a fan of the more simple wheels, such as these, which are very similar to what I am going to put on my Lanos:

These are the Fox 2 Sport Edition wheels at www.tirerack.com and for 16" are only $119US

Finish: Silver Painted
Size Selected: 16x6.5
Price: $119 each
Estimated Availability: In Stock
Recommended Tire Size: 205/55-16
Wheel Offset: +45mm

The big question is how heavy are they?

The only specifications for the Sport Edition Fox 2 I found showed the following data:
Cast 17 X 7

21.6 lbs
Cast 18 x 7.5

23 lbs

The ones I like best at this point are the Rev Model 2 ( one that most of you said looked good when the car is lowered)

With an 18" X 7.5" rim it weighs in at 18.4 lbs which is pretty decent for an 18".

Some of the other ones shown were Velox rims which run about 12-13 lbs in a 17" rim (not sure what the 18's weigh.... guessing 14-15 lbs)

I'm also guessing that the stock 15" rims weigh somewhere in the range of 17-20lbs based upon some calculations I did.

All things considered I should be able to move from a thick 15" rim to a thin spoke 18" without adding weight.

How about these OZ Titan rims..... I have them on my 240SX in Need for speed 2 Underground and I really like the looks of them in the game.

The "photoshop" sucks but I didn't want to spend too much time.

I want to get rims in the very near future.... just sold one of my three trucks so I have cash money in hand.... it's burning a hole in my pocket.

OZ TITAN (18")

REV MODEL II (18")

STOCK ( 15" )

Honestly, the stock wheels on there really do look nice.

Not that the others don't look good, but the stock ones don't look bad at all.
