Looking to change my wheels...

Love the Meisters, but have run them for 3 seasons. Granted, only went to about 12 shows in those 3 seasons and have only put about 2000 miles on them, but, I think it's time for a change. Or not? You help me decide.

OK, I have narrowed it down to 3 I like.

Work Meister M1R. 18x9-5 and 18x10-15.

Pros: Same offsets and widths I am currently running.
Gold color to match my DAD hood decal.

Cons: Still made by Work and still the Meister line, not a lot of change.

Weds Maverick 316M. 17x9-5 and 17x9-11

Pros: GREAT SALE PRICE!

Cons: No gold option.
Only 9" wide so rear fitment will need a spacer.
17" biggest Diameter.

Weds Bvillens TS-VIII. 18x9-5 and 18x10-18.

Pros: Sweet Mesh design.
Great fitment.

Cons: No gold option.
Most expensive but only by $25.

#3 for me. why change from work to a similar work wheels?

#2 will be too small if you are used to 18's

you can still get #3 and have them custom powder coated gold to your liking.

NVM I looked up ur ride... they're S1s but 15s. Now that I seen ur ride I def think the Mavericks would look good... but the gold accent from those works also look good on ur ride, personally I'd stay with a gold theme so those M1Rs would be a wise choice as well...

Not used to anything. My first set were 19", the S1 Meisters are 15". But the 17" Maverick aren't wide enough or have enough negative offset to fit my setup with my flares. Here is my ride now for those that aren't familiar with it.

I would go with a more sporty wheel as the rivited on over fenders is more of a sports look than a luxury look.
