Well I've been trying to find a set of wheels that would really set of the look of my TTA. I'm having a hard time choosing something because of the boxy lines of the car and just the way the car looks with the original wheels, plus there aren't too many people who get wheels for 3rd gens outside of TT2s or something along those lines.
I'd like to stick to a snowflake type wheel and have them powdercoated gold in the center like the stock wheels to stick with the gold and white theme of the TTAs. I'm looking at either a 17" or 18" all the way around, not staggered. I'm not positive if I want a stepped or reversed lip, I love the look of the reversed but I think it might not go with the car very well. Anyone have some suggestions on what they think might look good? It's going to be a little while until I order them but I like to plan ahead.
Here's a couple pictures of the car, it's been lowered about an inch since these pictures:

The best wheels I have found that I like so far are these Jlines, but I'd prefer to have the bolts on the inside like the FM5s:

and a gold chrome reversed lip of the same wheel

Another option that I have is that I have these Epsilon wheels that were made for a special package on the C4 vettes. They're the exact same design as my stock GTA wheels, but in a 17" 3-piece form. Only problem is the offset is way off so I would need to either run spacers or get new hoops made. I think the look horrible with spacers since they have practically no lip to them, so I would only be willing to get new hoops made. Here are some pictures on another third gen:

Again, I'm open for any suggestions just having a hard time finding the right wheels.
