Get what you can afford and like? By all means, if you can afford something like HRE, you can definitely go with that. Or if you're short on funds and wants something less pricey, IMO, RPF-1 in 19s would look pretty good.

It really comes down to what your preference is. Bottom line is, get what you want.

Congratulations on the new G, it's a real beauty. Like the others said, buy what looks nice to you and that you can afford. There are a lot of nice wheels out there at all diff. price levels.

1k for wheels? You are really limiting yourself with what can be had for 1k. Even used, it'll be tough to find anything decent.

your better off sticking with the stock 19's than spending 1k on rims, just save up more so you can afford something worth while.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but, to be completely honest, any set of wheels you get for $1,000 will be a downgrade from stock.

If you are really set on changing your wheels, my suggestion would be to keep saving for a little while until you can afford a quality, reputable set of wheels.

You need to make sure to find wheels that clear your sports brakes.

I would save up and keep an eye in the classified section for used Vossen's. If you double your budget you might get lucky and find a deal on a set of 3 piece forged wheels. I did!
