how much is your budget? If you got anywhere from 4-6k look into fikse, budnick, billet specialties, iforged or hre. All of them will have something for you. Oh by the way dont forget CCWs but they only come in 19s. Good luck

I think you should go with a set of Billet Specialties from their street smart line.



They retail about 1800 for 18x9.5s and I think they would look pretty sick on a TA.

for 1-2k there aren't too many sets of wheels you can get that haven't been whored out. if you want unique (ROH, iForged, FIKSE) wheels you'll be spending more like 3-4k (with tires). if you can afford it, i would wait. i was trigger happy and bought privats right before the tidal wave of a group purchase. soon they'll be as common as ZR1s and Z06s. i still think they look great (duh, i bought them) but the next time around, i'm gonna save up and spring for the ROHs.
