This has been my go to thread for a while when dealing with wheels.
Pardon my first post:

Wow that looks amazing. Wheels look awesome, and the stance is perfect. What size tire do you have on there?
I've been debating 19s vs 20s, but this is a strong argument for the larger wheel. Fantastic car.
S Ragan,
I saw your car and a few others pass when my family and I were in Destin eating at Camiles early in October this year. I ran to the balcony after hearing some Ferraris and got to see each of you taking off from a stop sign. Your calipers really stood out from the car (your wheels looked great too). Please pm me with info on any runs/rallies you guys do. I'm in Baton Rouge but would run up for a quick weekend.

Love the EC-7 Series. I even love the 18s with thicker tires on them. Great job. I just inquired about their EC-7RS forged line and pre ordered them in satin bronze. Should be made by end of the year.

Thanks! Personally, I love the 18 in wheels. People feel they always have to go bigger, but in person, 18" wheels that are 11" wide with beefy tires don't look small.
But it's personal choice, I think 19 inch wheels work really well, too. One of the cars that I used for inspiration is Ali Robertson's car. One of his set-ups is the EC-7 wheel in 19", as far as I know with the same offsets as mine, but another of his set-ups is the 18" speedline wheels that were used on the N24 model.
Here is his car with the EC-7 wheel in 19" (don't know the tire size):
But here's the same car with the 18" Speedline wheels, with offsets that are very close the to Apex wheels (but with less beefy tires than mine, it seems):
Can't go wrong either way IMO, as long as offsets and tires are matched well. Good luck!

Yikes, total brain fart, I've talked with him on a Facebook group about his car and everything, thanks for the catch. I'll edit my post so there's no confusion.
can't say i'm all that thrilled with the OEM 2007 rims on my vantage, but then again, i have yet to see rims that make me want to go out and buy something else.
now... i have another two-seater sports car (unmentionable marque) that i bought last year, and the first thing i did was to buy some OEM rims and sell the aftermarket rims that were on the car when i purchased it.
I just took these a couple hours ago. 2009 V8 Vantage, with the stock wheels from a 2016 Vantage GTS. I think these are some of the best wheels you can put on one of these cars. I got my set refurbished from a seller on ebay.
