I reckon if you are going to do it, go for ADV.1's or HREs. Expensive options, but IMO nothing else comes close in the looks department.

 

I would probably increase the size to 19s too. The 18s look too small, and this becomes more obvious with aftermarket wheels.

Thanks, but it must be 18", I have done a fair bit of research on this. These cars are tuned for this size and larger ones actually decrease handling performance.

Got photo upload to work. 

 

This image is my car with Oz rims that I also purchased with the car - I'm told they are 18 x 8.5 & 18 x 12 and standard offsets, no spacers.  Very much a track look which suits me because they are fitted with semi slicks and I'll be using them on track!

Very nice Doug, ready to carve out some corners.

 

Edit; They look in proportion with the car, I do like them.

What about the Warwick Capper look........here's my old Datsun. Used to have fun hunting Porsches in the old girl. Now I've become the hunted!

I'm with JJ. Wheels usually look as good as they cost. How about a set of CCWs? You can get them mm perfect for fitment because they are all made to order.

HREs are crazy expensive, but awesome.

Other options:

only problem with cheap wheels. They will crack compared to more expensive ones will bend. all in the quality of the aluminium used.

 

a cracked wheel will shatter and cause all sorts of issues. a bent wheel will let you drive home.
