8.5in front rim on a 1302...

Stuck here....of all things, choosing rims.

This is the look I'm trying to go after:


I know it's GL...but see how it just looks intimidating sitting there...the deep dish rims make it look mean...but you can get the same look with regular non "deep dish" rims, I'm just stuck as to how to achieve it, lol.

So here's what I've broken it down to choice wise.

Phone dials 16":

Boxter twist 17":

Porsche Comp 18":

ROH ZS 16"

I'm really stuck as to what I want. I really liked that one black super on here with black phone dials, kakarottt's ride But they're only 16. Gonna have a kinda fatty tire on there, but it didn't look bad on the afore mentioned Super....also, they're not staggered rims (wider in back than front)...

Boxter twists and the turbo twists are so similar it's almost (IMO atleast) pointless to pay the extra for the turbo twists. The plus is that thier 17's....

The Porsche Comp. REALLY DIG the look. DEEP dish makes the car look thicker. And it doesn't look like the cheesy cheap BBS wheels you commonly see. Only negative is that they're 18's....I'm planning on widened fenders anyhow, but I'm unsure as to if the weight difference in the wheels compared to a 17 or 16 is negligible with these specific wheels.

The ROH ZS....nice looking, not DEEP, but still nice looking. Only drawback is it's a 16.....again, with the fatty tire....it might look "cheap"....

As far as asthetics go, I think wheels make or break a car....I'm just WAAAAY unsure about which to pick....Also, I want to somewhat be different, straying away fromt he typical Porsche Cups or Twists wheels, but still stay "german look".....what are your opinions?
