But then again, you're a fucking idiot.:stupid:

To tell you the truth, it's all your preference. Find a wheel design you like and spend lots of time researching sizing/looking at pics to decide on your idea of flush.

Good luck with your search.

funny, i meant it in a sarcastic way, but since sarcasm doesnt exist on the internet its hard to tell...

if you read between the lines what it means is, He needs alot of cosmetic help to even make already hot wheels, which usually makes the car automatically hot, work with the car. Just my opinion, but that front end needs a better lookin bumper, dropped lower, painted all one color for even hot wheels like Work Meisters/Equips to look hot...

if your budget is 1.3K, better go find something used. RBMotoring gets some nice wheels with good sizing from time to time. They recently sold a set of Volk SE37K 18x9.5 +12 for arond $1800 is a pretty damn good deal. Takumi Project might have something for you, Cannonball-R can get some good stuff, Red Round Racing in Gardena, CA has a bunch of stuff (but overpriced, soon to be changed hopefully) you can be an elitist and get 5Zigen Fn's or Pro Racers (good sizing, but imo ugly and way overplayed)

all your preference, but if you want baller like you said, just save up that few extra hundred bucks. It will be worth what you want in the end instead of jsut settling for what your wallet allows you.

No you are stupid. *sarcastically* - How about that?

Research a lot. It will be worth it then just spending all your money right now and later on finding those perfect wheels that you would kill for. The FN01s in a good size can look really nice but 5 lug is the best thing you can do before buying for a 4 lug. It might cost more but it will look better. Like JDV said research.

Its all about preference so look around for something that you can afford or if you do find something better save some more.

Fuck that, ballers use DUBs. Get yourself some spinners, and you'll b the coolest kid on the block!

How much did you get your CF hood for? I was thinkin of gettin the same thing later down the road.

I've always liked how 280 rims looked on our cars. Pretty badass IMHO.
