Yes, I'm leaning towards no.3 with closer to the correct offset. I only would hate to clean my wheels everyday since they're white.

thats the reason i went with gunmetal rims so even if they got dirty you really wouldn't be able tell except on the polished lip. if you can find those in gunmetal then it would be the best of both worlds.

Alright, well I just bought the first set of wheels. Racing black ones.
They are 15x6.5 with 40mm offset and they only weigh 13.2 lbs!!!

Will see how they look, I'm so excited! :lol:

The only reason why I didn't get white ones, is because I don't want to clean my wheels everyday... they'd look very crappy. Plus I'm selling my stock wheels, so 15"s would do better in the winter.
Also, I'd rather have performance and some show, than all show and no performance.

www.tirerack.com is much better, better wheel selection + the wheels don't look photoshopped when you are trying them on.
