Need some advice from you experienced guys regarding wheel choice.
Alright, to start things off, I'm looking to put a set of wheels on my car to add to the look of it.
Besides a few performance and audio mods, along with a greddy exhaust my car is pretty much stock.
With all that said, I'm looking to buy a budgeted pair of rims. Out of all the ones I've seen, I think I've narrowed my options down to either the XXR 521 or the XXR 526. I'd go with the black w/silver lip regardless of which I chose.
I know they're heavy and not the most supported rims, but hey.. I'm on a budget.
I will be lowering my car with eibach sportline springs. I'm also wondering what size spacers I should put on the front/back in regards to both the 18" and 20" wheels.
Tl;DR :
1) XXR 521 or XXR 526?
2) 18" or 20"? (18x9, 18x10.5) or (20x9.5 20x11).
3) Spacer size?
4) Fender rolling needed?
I want them to look as aggresive as possible.
As you see, I'm far from experienced. All help is appreciated!
Thanks!

No spacer needed, just install. If you feel you need a spacer later, measure and buy the spacer you want.
Better yet, research a bit more. Add the spacer budget into the wheel budget and buy better wheels.

just saw a set of 526 in person, liked them alot, and... after all my b#tching, they are TWO pounds heavier than my Forgestars. Not that bad man.
20" ftw.. no one will agree.
Im buying a set to roll when im tired of the concave look and want a lip and dont want to spend another 2-3k.
