Wheels on an Arctic Silver C4S
Looking for suggestions and opinions on wheels for an Arctic Silver 996 C4S that will not break the bank account 
. Suspension is stock as I can’t go any lower because it already scrapes. Also, include tire sizes, offsets, and your input for an 18" VS 19" wheel with an aggressive look that will not rub. Pictures are welcome if you have them. Thanks!
Here is a pic of what I ended up with. Thanks for everyone's suggestions as the updated wheels really changed how the car looks and it rides like new again. Will post better pics when I get a chance.

I just put some 19" Carrera classics on my C2. These are actually wide body rims on a narrow body C2. I had to roll the fenders, but now all is good. Got the Rims from a member here for $750.00, the tires are Toyo Proxies, and they cost me about $1200.00 out the door.
tires:
FR: Toyo Proxes 4 235/35/19
Rear: Toyo Proxes 4 295/30/19
Rear Rims are 19"x11" with a 51 offset front fit with no mods

The more I look into wheels, the more I find myself looking to OEM stuff like the wheels above. I guess is going through the whole circle.

It is finally time to get a new set of tires and I just figured this would be the best time to upgrade the wheels as well. I've seen the Forgestar F14 and Ruff style that looks to be at a great price. Anyone have these who can comment on them? I've also looked into factory 997 wheels as well.

If it's between those two, I would say Forgestar due to being lighter and a wheel that is not pretending to be something it's not.

I've always been a fan of the way Techart Formulas looked on the 996. Have they come down on price? Planning a wedding so unfortunately the wheels will take a hit on how much I would like to spend vs what I can spend.
