Default New wheels for my Forte

Hey guys,

I plan on getting new wheels for my forte in the next few months. I want some opinions/options.

I have been looking at the konig lace 18x8 +35 offset:


also, the xxr 521 in black with machined lip 18x8.5 +35 offset:


I'm wanting a mesh/web design wheel, 18". Let me know what you guys think, and any recommendations.

still am, if I find a buyer. I still want to make it look good though, lol.

If I can sell it great, if not then oh well. I'm not really in a rush to sell it or anything.

I have the XXR 521 18X8.5 35 offset and am smashing in the back with my hatch on Eibachs so I don't recommend that width. But the wheels look super sexy on the car!

the privats look like the 521, but have a higher offset, maybe they won't rub as much?

I really like the Petrols, but I've never heard of that brand before lol.

Maybe, It sucks when you have people in the car driving on the highway with it smashing into the the fender. Just need to have them flared a bit and you're good! Well that is my expectations and am still waiting for the pay check to do so.

The Petrol's would look really nice on your silver 5, and I've always liked the Konig Lace's, which would also look good on your 5. I considered the Konig's at one point as well.

Konigs and Petrols are definitely the best in my opinion. I dont usually love the black w/ machined lip though so personally, I'd lean to the Konigs
