Well, I'm looking at getting some 19s. Tires aren't really a concern right now cause i have that taken care of, what I'm looking for is some rims. I'm trying to go on the inexpensive side and i found some on tire rack that seems good but i wanted to know what people thought of them.

The first ones i'm looking at are the ASA JH9s
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelClo ... sort=Price
They don't look bad, and $180 a rim for 19s isn't a bad price either.

Another one I was looking at was the Motegi DV5 Black
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelClo ... sort=Price

and finaly the MSW type 12 Silver
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelClo ... sort=Price

These are just what i've found on tirerack cause i'm probably gonna get my tires from there and it would be best to get them as a package to get free mounting and balancing and shipping. The car itself is a light silver color (i think it's called lunar mist). So what do people think?

I like the ASA's the most out of all of them. Being that I Dont know your car color..
Anywasys. to me the Motegi's just look off on your ride..
and the MSW id only pick if you want a semi-stock look to it (they do look nice though).
As stated I like the ASA JH9s. Subtle bam ;)

Cool...I wanna buy 19 too next spring (8.5 width though)

My choice would be ASA JH9.

I think if you want to make a good choice for you you have to ask you

Do you prefer 5 spokes classic or multi-spokes wheels ?
Do you like lips better than none ?
Which color is your car (light silver) versus the color of the rim ?
Do you prefer bolts between the spokes or on the spokes ?

You car color is perfect to fit any rim color ! :)
The +45mm offset will look a bit shy but you could use spacers to solve this problem. I think then you would have to change the studs for longer ones but it would worth the money !

I'll pm you about the wheels...

i was in the same situation about a month ago before i decided to hold off on the wheels. I also have a lunar mist and I think i could help out. try edgeracing.com or wheelmax.com for some nice prices. You should narrow down exactly what style you are looking for.

my brother in-law has the motegis on his Lexus IS250 and they look great. could be a different story on the solara...
check out www.tires.com they have a huge selection of rims. really good brands at the lowest prices youll find online.

Yeah i'm really likeing the ASAs, and the price is good too, the only thing is that the tire selection is pretty poor everywhere. From what i understand, i need a 225-40-19 size tire and tirerack only has like 6 differnet tires in that size. allthough, the kuhmo tires are a good price.
