wheel suggestions
Ok, well some have chimed in and lent assistance and some have just listened in and shared knowledge or other opinions. All have been taken in and appreciated. Thank you all for the help and assistance already. Now I have a new thread that will hopefully be helpful to more than just me so anyone new and old here feel free to chime in and add whatever you want or ask whatever you want as long as it stays on topic of wheels and rides. So my basic question relates to opinioins of what wheels work best on my car I have seen many wheels that I like but can't figgure out which ones I like the best or which ones would fit my car the best.
So to the details I have a silver 03 Q45 I want wheels with a good sized lip and a good offset that brings the rim close to the fenders, now when I say close I don't mean as close as some of you but I do want it close. I'm thinking 20's or 19's and figgure any assistance I can get from the forum can only make my choices easier and beeter looking than I could do on my own.
I am loking for suggestions and anyone else looking for some or to add input feel free to.
Thanks and I look forward to all the input.

For such a big, round and bulky car like the F50, I would go with a wheel with a fuller face. Try to stay away from thin 5 spoke designs IMO

i agree that the f50 needs a big face wheel.i also think you should go for flush. its almost gaurenteed that if you buy something without nice fitment eventually you will be unhappy with them. heres some suggestions:
work schwert sc3 (haven't seen these in the us yet)
work varianza d3s
trafficstar dtx
ame shallen ax
leon harditt waffe
leon harditt beil
and of course the standard work euroline dh/ssr viena dish/etc. etc.

The wheels in the pic look great .Now the question is are you lowered if not i think all those wheels posted are going to look out a place . If you dont plan on lowering it then you should go with a larger wheel( dont flame me ) Like 22's just my opinion . If the car is slamed then any of those posted would look awsome .Good luck and make sure they fit the car .....

Hey thanks all i've been busy with school and got tickets to the celtics game last night so sorry I haven't been checckin in. I agree with es ou are all suggesting and I do plan on lowering but wont be able to afford that until mid summer (college still). Once I'm back to full time plus extra hours at the second J.O.B. I will be able to spend more freely on my car. The big face wheels are def what I'm looking into but just wanted some suggestions since my last car was my A32 maxima and had completely different styled wheels, thin 5 spoke-17"or thin 7 spoke-18" depending on season, and these would look completely wrong on my new car.
And I would love to follow in widebodyQ's footsteps from some of the pics I've seen of his car it looks amazing. With that said, I don't want to follow so closely and be considered copying him, that would take away from his car and steal some of the uniqueness he has worked so hard to create. Hopefully some day my car will be comparable!
And as far as going bigger, I'm sorry but I have set 20's as my limit. The roads in New England are to bumpy and dangerous for bigger wheels in my eyes ( I've already ruined one set of rims in a work zone and have a hard time avoiding all the potholes already).
