trying to decide on new wheels

so here is a question - dumb one maybe but.

id like to stay as stock as possible but keep the 17x7 or upgrade to maybe 17x8 at most.

alot of choices but how can i try some without buying them ?

im having a hard time trying to figure out what type of finish goes good with the BLACk car.. i like gray but not enough pics.

i want to buy a rim and try it and if it doesnt work out or return i guess i can refund - but alot of online stores will cost a bit to ship back.. and not sure if they would let me ship back if i mount some tires on it...

dang , the more i think about it the more i feel like keeping the stock rims... too much work and guessing... ?

i guess i can see if there is a non-web dealer near me that would do me the favor of trying a few out --but i doubt it.

im lost...

Discounttiredirect.com and tirerack.com both have ways to preview the rim on the car. It's pretty much a picture of a car side shot with the rims on it. It's really nice.

If you go to a wheel/tire store they will usually just throw them on little racks in front of the stock wheels to give you an idea on what it will look like. Every place I've been has done that at least. The only issue there is you are stuck with what they physically have.

Or just google search the wheels and see them mounted on other same colored cars, FRS or otherwise.

This is what you want...
https://www.fujicorporation.com/eng/...g/fitting.aspx

Lets you check out pretty much every wheel known to man against whatever car you have, with ride height adjustability, different backgrounds, etc... Works like the Tirerack's program, but way more wheels and options.
