        well since you have a fwd offset in 4x100, u can run any rim that is made for a honda without any spacers. run some OZ rims or something....

                    Any VW rim will work too since its a iX.

                    You have tons of choices compared to the rest. Try looking at www.vwvortex.com for some wheels for sale in your offset. That'll be your best bet at getting some wheels cheaper too.

                      Ok guys, he's asking for suggestions, like specific suggestions, those of you stating VW and honda offsets is a start. How about a specific model wheel or atleast spoke design? You know me, I like flat 5-6 spokes, not skinny with no fufu, no *fake* rivets, and dish is awesome. I'm also a huge fan of Ronal LS's with dish. I also like darker centers with a polished lip but not sure about that on a red car.

                      Jordan, your post was completely useless an not the least bit helpful. Get over it already, I think everyone knows you dont like his wheels. Your wheels are supposedly so great, so you must have the best taste, why dont you give him a suggestion instead of being a smartass all the time. Come on already, it got old...

                        I made him a suggestion. I'm not going to tell him which wheels to buy. I think his current ones are god awful thats all. Aside from his eyebrows I think he has a nice clean car, ruined by its wheels.

                            what if he buys bright pink, 3 spoke wheels with fake rivets...is the phrase, "anything's better" really the way to go?

                            Come on...just get something a little more specific out there....and don' you dare say stock baskets...

                              Ok....you want some examples? Here are a few I would personally consider if I were in your situation....

                              Exhibit A: Brock B1, 16x7.5 w/ an ET35 offset...


                              Exhibit B: CR 7, 16x7.5 w/ an ET35 offset...


                              Exhibit C: OZ Superleggera, 16x7 w/ an ET37 offset (avail. thru TireRack)


                              Exhibit D: SSR Competition, 16x7 w/ an ET35 offset (avail. thru TireRack)


                              Again....my personal tastes here. Yours may be quite different. Besides, its your ride.....dowhatchalike 8)
