Rotas, Enkei RPF1s, or 5Zigens FN01's (I like the black version of the these wheels). Also I'd suggest 9.5 if 9's are not available.

RECOMMENDATIONS?
I ordered some 18'' work meisters 9.5 f and 10.5 rears +24 all around. I was thinking of getting this series 255f and 285r 35/18 tires. Would this rub?

Im only lowered on springs Eibach prokit and tokico dspecs shocks btw.

I would appreciate any help from you pros.

you'll be fine in the front, but rears may need rolling of the fenders.
put them on and drive around, if they rub, just roll the rears and you'll be fine.

but it also depends on how low your drop is, camber etc..

-see post below with my setup...i had to roll the rears after i drove back from the tire shop...lol

Eibach prokit only lowers 1'' all around. I may do the spring mount mod but first I have to get the wheels from rick@vipstatus.
thank you for the info sir.

You're not looking at offset and width? That plays a huge role in how wheels look...

I'd just go to the classified section and try and find some nice wheels.
