Trying to pick wheels - Thoughts?

So I'm finally getting around to looking for new wheels. I've long liked the Torque Thrust wheels (in anthracite) but sooo many people that I know have the TT wheels in chrome, black or the anthracite that I don't really want the same thing. - Also couple that with the fact that we put Foose Legend wheels on my wife's SIM convertible last year, so I don't really want a wheel too similar there either.

I kinda see my car as having that retro connection with the 1st gen, so I like that theme, but that won't keep me from looking at more 'modern' style wheels

I've got a Summit White car, so probably not looking for chrome wheels.

there's two wheels that I have put on the list so far -

American Racing Daytona in Gray:



The other is the TSW Carthage in black... it kinda has a Weld Racing RTS look to it which I really like, but way less in price.





It seems like i've poured over so many wheel pictures, but anyone else have any ideas or input on what I have picked?

for your car I'd say TSW KM685's in district black. It has a machined face and the remainder is black, so you see the wheels, doesn't end up looking whitewashed, and compliments the car.

Those are nice, will have to think about those, though was kinda hoping for a wheel with a lip, it's not absolutely required

You said "I've got a summit white car so probably not looking for chrome"
Don't get that- I know opinions vary but I wouldn't give them up for anything else:

Yours looks good, but for some reason, I've always thought that chrome looked more at home on a dark color. Dunno, still undecided

If I can't find the gray center Daytona's can't pick those...

That being said, what I really really like are these:



...but my budget won't let me get them.

Found the following example of the TSW wheels on the car:




The following are the renders available from rimulator.com:

The TSW Carthage Black:



The Beyern Rapp:



I did find another option, the Adventus AVR-2



The daytonas:


And the KMC District machined/black (wish they were the other way around, but oh well):




Still like the TSW's but the Adventus is nice too... unless i do find the daytona's

They are indeed sweet... I just can't bring myself to spend that much on wheels.

I'm leaning towards the TSW's, gonna think on it this week and then go from there.

Hopefully I don't find many more options, that won't help much, lol
