Hey guys. I need to find a new set of wheels and tires for the X-Runner. Iv read a bunch of threads for what size offset is good to be flush, etc. BUT as most of you know im ridiculously low and my front wheels tuck tire so I think sitting flush wont work that well on my truck. So i wanted to see what you guys think. I also need help picking out the wheels I want. I have a few that I like the style of (Varrstoen es2.2, volk te37) but wanted to know if anyone knew of something similar style thats priced a little better. So heres what im looking for.

-19" wheel
-Black
-Maybe sitting 1/2"-1" out more then the stock wheels and tires (really cant go with much more poke then stock because the stocker rub lol)
-5 or 6 spoke design (really like wheels with a bit of a concave look and maybe a little lip)

Please throw out some input! and if anyone knows any good sites to browse wheels let me know (tire rack doesnt have much)

heres some pics of my current drop with stock wheels and tires, and also the wheels and tires i have on currently(18x8.5 offset 35, tires 245/40 in front 275/35 in rear)

I'm biased of course, but IMO you can't beat the style, price, fit and finish of the Varrstoen's. Then again, I thought the wheels you were running at X-Fest looked great on your truck.

I'm using a photo shop app on my phone,so lets see if I can find them on another car at about the same angle. I'll probably get black rims and dip them red,not sure I could fully commit 2 red completely.

ok sweet! yeah i have the same feeling about the green lol probly just gonna go with matte black and plastidip green if i ever get the urge. id really like to go with 19s but those Enkei's look sick, i really like the concave look. plus id be able to order them sooner since i can re-use my stock tires

perfect dude.... think i need to do this lol now the stock wheels are 18x8 30mm offset. these are 18x8.5 25mm offset so they should sit pretty flush and (hopefully) not rub too much. gonna order these jawns. that way i can put the other wheels back on the vr4 and start working on that thing!
