First SHOman4 love your wheels, wish I was a painter like you. The all whites are head turning but i would think a detailing nightmare. my choice is the tremblant with the gloss black w/ mirror cutup. black is very in but still like some chrome to go with it. wish had been able to do this year but not in the budget, maybe next year upgrade to 20's w/ new tires. The factory goodyears are just junk.

Do any of these come in Gold or Anthracite ( not silver or white or black?) with the polished rim? Gold mesh look was very in years ago, and everything comes around again. I had really neat 5 bar black wheels with polished rim on my 88' Saab 9000 Turbo which was red with black cladding.
Have you checked TireRack's wheel selection? You can also use their Mustang wheels if offset is correct. For instance, my ASA AR2's were a Mustang fitment, and I have them on Flex. They look just like the mesh you have picked, but have dark silver spokes with a polished spoke face and lip. Of course I wanted 18"s.

Thanks Bob. I checked Tire Rack SHO and Mustang. They do have a white Montegi that doesn't look bad. Don't care for the gold.
I am really leaning towards the Valencia in silver now. With the staggered set up. I think that's my best choice so far. I'll keep looking but, that may be the best way for me to go.
I have seen that the all black wheels are pretty popular. I just can't get used to them. I always liked bright wheels. The black with machined rims doesn't seem so popular. I don't know why. I always thought they looked pretty cool.
Back in the day, I loved the white SHO with white wheels. I have looked and there is not a lot of choices as far as white goes. Pretty much that Montegi is it.
I think this will be the way to go. Staggered Valencias.

Did you consider the 5 spoke TSW rotary forged Panorama's? Lightweight, a good buy if you get the bronze color(I suppose I gave up the $$$ savings having them blasted/powdercoated body color) and the EASIEST ever to clean wheels Ive owned! I did 9.5X19's because I wanted a plush ride. I already have a couple cars that ride like a skateboard...

Yeah, I looked at the Panorama. Nice looking wheel. The Interlago looks good too.

all you're trying to do is get me trouble. First I told my wife stereo was no good, headrest needed upgrade, then the exhaust, then the brakes, then down pipes, now wheels & tires. she's already told me why in the hell did you buy a car that nothing on it was any good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL Mike! Tell her you need a fine canvas to create a masterpiece!
What I would do, is take the same devotion you put into these TSW's into some other brands, and be your own "devil's advocate", if you will. That's the best way to know what you really want. If you do that and then come right back to the Valencia, then you know it was right.
Example, you could run Stance or, Vertini, staggered in 20" to great effect.
I'll post back some pics with an idea, and you can let me know what you think.
Also, not sure if 3k is too far over-budget or not, but you can probably get a full 3 piece custom set with the same mesh pattern as mine (or similar) from where I got mine. You could then get *exactly* what you want.

Thanks Lanson. I am on a very strict budget. I would at least like to get the Valencias and use my Michelins. That would be best for the budget and I could sell my stock 20's. I could always upgrade when in a better position.

LOL Thanks! I hope it's not a waste of your time. But if I can't do it, maybe some of the other guys will jump on it.
here's some fun ones, just to be the "DA".. >
See if you like any of these, these are all around $1200 a set. Different color options too.
This one is actually made by TSW, for Lexus cars but it works for us.
Axis Penta, you choose the color pinstripe (white is an option)
I got more, just trying to see if something hits you as attractive for your wants.

I saw that one as well I liked it lots but if I was changing from all chrome color wheel, i'd go with the black cartage with the mirrored lip. seems like with the black around the bottom, would work real well with out going all black which i personally don't like on a white car such as ours & lanson that victoria site is awesome, what a choice of wheels.
