Default What rims should I get!?

I want to get a CHEAP set of rims for my silver monte SS after I get my windows tinted. I want black and might do a chrome/silver lip. Will probly plastidip them. Found some used Elbrus ones that will work for cheap but idk if they will look good if I painted them black and left chrome lip..? It won't let me post a pic on the thread so ill put a pic of the wheels in a new album on my profile. Please help me out!

Anyone have suggestions?? How do you think the Elbrus's would look painted/plastidip black with silver lip? Or should I wait and try to find something that looks more like those other ones.. Opinions please!

I just put Helo 844's on my 04, you can have all black or some chrome on the spoke if you want. I did 18's with Yokahama 580's, major improvement in ride and handling.

Only paid $450 at Discount Tire for the wheels with rebates.

18x8 Helo HE844 Gloss Black with Chrome Inserts 18 inch Wheels at Street Dreams

Those TSW racing ones (first picture in SpaceRider's post) are one of my most viable options in replacing my black spoke/chrome lip wheels. But they aren't exactly cheap. If you plastidip the wheels black, then it's going to be pretty obvious that they're plastidipped. It's a matte black that never really looks dark enough. Painting them yourself with some better materials might go well!

Well ok if I just painted them black do you think they would look good? Or do you think I should wait to find something with skinnier spokes like the ones on top?
