It is rather hard to suggest what wheels would look good on your vehicle, without actually seeing any pics of the vehicle...lol

He has a black coupe with body kit.

I like gunmetal or chromium black so either that first one or the second one.

They all look nice... but I would also be interested in the construction of the wheels.. I doubt their forged at that price.. but hopefully spun cast at least..
and most of all.. how much do they weigh? From a performance perspective.. you don't want to add any extra unsprung weight to the corners if you can avoid it.. makes a big difference in handling.. something to think about beside cosmetics..

$900 for 4 wheels and 4 tires

Those 4 crappy Chinese tires retail for about $80-$85 each. So

~ $320 - $340 for tires
~ $40 - $50 to mount and balance
~ $150 to ship
__________________________
~ $510 - $540 total

$900 - (~ $510 - $540) = ~ $360 - $390 for 4 wheels or less than $100 each.

Yeah, I'd definitely say they're not forged.

Weight for a cast wheel in this size is usually in the 25-28 lb range.


OP. Do yourself a favor and opt for better tires if possible. Sunny and Delinte? (IMO)

I lik the katana wheels too but i also lik the ninja wheels to...
I think the straight spokes look good on the 7th gens but maybe the others would too.
Idk
