motegi mentioned above, tend to be very heavy for what they are, and not the best quality, imo (buddy bent his after a couple weeks on a lowered 01 sentra). to get different sizing options on tire-rack, dont search by vehicle. when you get to the site, just click on where it says wheels and search by size only and it will show all options for each wheel.
if you're not planning on tracking the car heavily, rotas have most of the features and identical looks of the big money/big name wheels while costing about half the price. wheeldude hooks it up big-time on here

well you should get waht is more comfortable for you. What do you want to get out of a set of rims?
Personally I have a set of Gram Lights 57Optimise Time Attack. I didn't get a crazy aggresive fitment cause i'm not willing to roll my fenders and make modifications to accomodate them. Initially i wanted to, but its not worth it in my mind. I can still run 235/40 tires, but 245 would be ideal, but too much work.
A lot of people on the board run Tenzo and Rota, but personally I'm not a fan. Depends on the person?

So I finally found the wheel I like... work emotion XT7 18x8.5 +32 . 450 a peice...I was wondering would you guys buy something like this if you weren't doing track at all and using it just as everyday driving wheel? Is this a bit to much? Thanks for your feed backk.

it would be more noticeable if ur car is lowered tho..
btw.. with these setting .. u might need to roll ur rear fender if u decide to drop ..
anything lower than 40 offset will most likely rub if u put a tire wider than 225..
