I got my PTT a few weeks ago and I think I want to get a set of aftermarket rims but, because I'm cheap, I want to use the same tires that are on my Turbo II's.

Does anyone have any suggestions for some good loking rims that won't break the bank?

Thanks in advance.

What wheels do you have now? My favorite wheels for the Panny are the Turbo IIs. After that I'd go with HRE, Modulare or RUF. If you're going to keep 20in sizes, I'd also seriously consider 5mm spacers all around. Spacers really help the 20s fill out the wheel well enough to almost look like it's a 21.

A nice aggressive offset definitely can make a big difference.

go for 22, tires are not that expensive, im not sure how is money an issue if you have a PTT, but if you really want to keep 20" i would say stick with your stock turbo II wheels but just get spacers and it will look sooo much nicer.

It's a lease car so i need to return it to stock when I turn it back in and don't feel like having a $8k set of rims laying around at the end of the day.

Plus it doesn't make sense to add 2 extra inch of metal to the wheels and sacrifice the drivability of the vehicle. I'm sure Michigan is as bad as Wisconsin in terms of pot holes on the roads. Driving around with 30 and 25 profile tires won't be fun.

I would get a nice set of 20s and call it a day. The CH-Rs are a great choice.
