Need advice on new rims!

Im looking to buy new 19'' rims for my C2 and it would be nice to get your guys' feedback on which ones to get before I start shopping. Can you please post some of your favorites with pictures if possible. Thanks in advance!

My advice is make sure you have the right offsets for the look you are after....some companies sell wheels with 996 offsets, but the fit is not that great....so ask ALOT of offset questions....if you are going for the similar look of the 996 GT3, the offsets are 18x8.5 et45 front and 18x11 et62 rear....the 997 C2 rims have a similar offset and will fit fine with a front 15mm spacer...Thats the offset I am using....
