Default Ideas for wheels for DD

I just got a 2003 Touring Edition Z last week and have been shopping around for some tires. It's been a dream of mine to own one of these since I was in middle school when they came out and now I have saved up enough and actually purchased my own. I looking for some ideas on some wheels for it. I don't plan on lowering it as of now because it's my DD, but I'd like to have 18, 19, or 20's and have no idea about the offset or anything on these. I'm willing to shell out 2 grand for wheels and tires together. Anything would be appreciated guys. Thanks.

I don't have any uploaded as of now, but it's bone stock and Redline. I'm not interested in used wheels unless they are flawless. If that is the case, I'm always looking for a deal and try and remain a faithful customer and always send business to good providers.

You have a budget so that is smart. Figure $800 for tires leaves you $1,200 for wheels. Now go shopping.

Take a look at the used marketplace, that's your best bet.

to the OP:

i'd stick with the stock wheels right now until you have the funds to get rims and tire and springs (and install + alignment) so the lower profile tires don't look out of place.

many many many many people DD their cars on a slight drop.. You can pick up used Eibach pro kit, or Hotchkis springs for less than 200, and with a new set of rims it'll totally set the look right.

you can get a used set of Enkeis with decent offset and used springs on our marketplace for within your budget..
