Alright heres my dilemma: I'm looking for wheels that would be a direct replacement for my stock 16x8 TA wheels. Im driving myself crazy trying to search for wheels, and cant really find anything. Anybody have any recomendations on where I should look or know of any rims off hand that are the same size? I would like black rims with a lip, but would also be happy with polished as well.

Yeah, I couldnt view half of the pics on my computer but I did look through there as well as on ls1tech. Would this wheel fit? http://badabingwheelsandtires.com/3649.html
Yeah I already viewed it as well as the wheel thread on ls1tech, but didnt really see any 16's. Would these fit? 16x8 ION 625 BLACK W/MACHINED 5X120.65 -12mm 83.82mm
JMO but if your going to spend the money to upgrade wheels why not go with something bigger like 17 or 18" ?
I went from 16's to 18's and I am very happy with the looks and performance. In fact I will probably be selling the current 18's as I'm getting something else.
As you have probably noticed there is quite a few more choices if you go the larger route.
I know theres more. I just bought new tires last summer for my car, so I not to excited about purchasing new tires as well. With the looks of it though, thats what I may have to do, I was just really hoping I could find something that would be a direct replacement so I didnt have to spend the extra money on tires.
I kind of figured that was the case.Quote:

Wait(and save up more money) until your current tires are about due to be replaced, then buy at least a set of 17 x 9s.
