There's no specific "best". There are plenty of different wheels and manufacturers to fit different needs/tastes/budgets.

Some of the best stuff is from HRE, Fikse, BBS, Billet Specialties, Intro, and others, but some of that stuff will cost you more than your car is probably worth.

Let me rephrase the question, i want to see a picture and price of aftermarket wheels that look good on a thirdgen. I also want to know how people like their low profile tires. Could i be any clearer.

Do a search (uh... when it comes back up ). There is a thread in the appearance board that's something like 5 or more pages long of wheel pics. That's one of probably 500 similar threads.

Okay, the search feature sucks you can never get what you want. How do the low profil tires drive, are they better than normal tires?
