1. Volk te37 - my first choice. but played out
2. Advan RGII - looks most aggressive, but just as expensive as #1
3. Rota P45r - heavy WAY WAY played out now infact there is a thread of the 300 people on here alone that sport em....

I would take the Advan RG's in a nice color like silver, HB, or EVEN the high polished chrome look yummy!!!!

my question about the Rota's is. Would the extra 2 lbs they weigh really matter much? I wouldnt think so but I'm honestly not very knowledgeable about wheels. Would you be able to "feel" a difference???

Here's another wheel I'd consider for looks. They'd look bad-*** on silver.

If I buy the TE37's I prolly wouldnt have enough money to lower the car for a while. do you think I could run those without it being l,owered. then eventually lower the car??? wouldnt hurt anything??? how about doing that with the rotas???

I do plan on lowering it of course. just going from paycheck to paycheck right now

rotas pricewise beat volks everyway, and to the guy saying they weigh more then stock dude your crazy. i mean yea id definetly wouldnt mind having volks but dont see any reason to spend 2 grand or more on something that will end up getting screwed up due to my weekend drives. get something that looks as good for half the price. if your car isnt a garage queen and doesnt see too much driving hop on the volks. if you actually drive it then i wouldnt.

hate to sound like such a noob but I really need to understand offsets before I make the decision. soooo a 30mm offset is more aggressive than a 25mm offset. Is that correct. Does this mean that from the center of the wheel a 30mm would curve more than a 25mm offset? ?? please let me know. I've searched some but sometimes its hard to get a clear answer.

The lower the offset the more concave the spokes will look! Take for example the wheels on a Skyline, they have somewhere around a +15 to a +25 offset and have that really concave look. Then you take a +30 to a +35 offset they are more flush looking. I know there is more to offset than what I have given you, google and I am sure you will find a better answer.

so a wheel with a +25mm offset compared to a +30mm offset. the +25mm would be slightly more of a bowl type shape??? and it would be what is considered usually the most "aggressive" of the two???

Yes, there is alot more to offset than what I wrote, but for all practical purposes "Yes"...
