Advan RG with the +29 offset(GTR face). Gruppe-s has some great deals on these. Also available with more spokes on the Advan RS.

RSBoy, I'm loving that black and red lip thing. Did you get those painted or powdercoated. Honestly man, those are the hottest (maybe even aftermarket minus the whole forged thing) stock wheels I've seen.

Rattle can will work on non exposed parts like your shifter and dash board. But anything that is exposed to the elements of mother nature will become garbage after a few days of driving.
Paint is about $6 per can. About 3/4 cans to do a rim properly $24
Powdercoating is thicker and more durable and indeed more expensive but the results look the same on day 100 as they did on day 1 Rims are normally $50/75 per rim where i go.
Personally its a waste of money to rattle can stuff. but to each his own.

Mine were painted by a friend (auto painter) for about $125. Would have been a little cheaper but the pearl is expensive. Then cleared over all the paint. Rattle can paint will break down faster. But 5-6 good coats and then 5-6 coats of clear should work for a while. I just like having a custom color - cans can be limited.
