hey, ummm i see your going the BLING look, i would go the Evulve - C2.
edit: item 1

[Subie Boy]

thanks mate, yea I am going for the bling look since my car is N/A....hehehe

[kvn]

i'd prefer the Evulve - C2, out of the selection, just my personal opinion.. not really into the whole bling look.

Damn you. I miss chrome.

Though not a big fan of any of them, if I had to pick I'd go Item 2.

DOOOOOOO IT!

[Subie Boy]

Yea I agree...I was going to go either Item 2 or Item 5.....hmm does anyone here know if Chrome is a pain to clean, and even how to clean chrome?? hehe thanks...

chrome....hmm my mate used to have bling on his old car and was so easy to piss him off by just by sticking my finger print on it.

Just like kvn, I'm not a chromie boy but just looking at them, c2's look ok.
I suggest to photohack them onto your car to get a better idea.

How much of a clean freak are you? Depends on whether or not you want them spotless all the time (what's the point of getting shiny chrome when they look dirty and don't shine? gotta keep up the appearance!) and how dusty your brakes get. When I had chrome wheels, I would clean them at least twice a day. Once before leaving the house for work, and then once before leaving work for home.

Good thing about chrome is that they glide a lot better than paint, so simply wiping a cloth/towel over the surface will usually do it. Whereas painted wheels require a bit of water to break through the caked dirt.

It depends how anal you are about keeping your car & wheels clean.
Like Jim said chrome is easy to clean just a wipe over & there done.
I only clean mine when I wash the car, and I'm happy with that!!

With all of those wheels being 8.5" be very careful with the offset, I found when looking for my 20s all of the 20x8.5 at the time had the wrong offset as there designed to go on larger cars than the lib eg commys & falcons

DOOOOOOOOIT!!..

C2's

[Subie Boy]

I am sooo GOING to DOOO IT hehehehe!!

But here is the thing C2 will cost me $3,200 with tyres, man thats quite expensive, Item 4 will cost me $2,600 and Item 5 will cost me $2,000....what should I do here???

[Subie Boy]

By the way guys...I am also open to any other suggestions, so please post up some other wheels that you think will suit my black lib....20s or 19s....
