Default aftermarket wheel suggestions?

My 99 S80 is the silver-ish pearl, and has the black plastic bumper accents...I'd like to add on 17" or 18" wheels in the near future, what do you guys recommend to keep the car looking classy and not ricey?

Post pics and info please if you have any input.

Thanks!

These might not look too too bad.

18 inch

The 3rd ones down look nice, chrome is pretty but a pain to keep clean just something to keep in mind. Try going on Sweedspeed.com and they have some nice pics of car w/ rims, you might get some ideas. you don't want to make a classy car like this look cheap.

Those rims look really sharp! Nice choice on them. I think 19"s might look a little cramped, but that's just me.

What did you pay for the rims? Wrapped?

Man gidish,

Those are beautiful. But I really do agree that for my car that I drive to school and back and work every day, I couldn't keep them looking nice.

For a car that isn't daily driven and used as A to B transport, chrome is the only way to go. But I'm goint to go with 18 voxx wheels because they look sharp and the silver painted finish on them means less effort to keep them looking nice.
