Time to start the search again...

OK, now I am going to get wheels that fit, without spacers hubrings and other funky things.

So, how much do I know? Not much, is this correct 5x115 bolt pattern with a 15-18 mm offset?

What wheels besides the TIS are good choices? The styles I am liking are pictured below.

I'd go with the DUB Condos, although with TIS, you can't go wrong.

Any idea what your budget is? That'll help me give some opinion.

OK HEMI4ME?...here we go

Just my $.02 as always:

Condos - Look hot on a truck...not on this car. But you can't go wrong with a DUB wheel IMO. The chrome is spectacular and the quality is spot on...I mean we are talking about Chip Foose here. The man knows how to make a wheel. Any wheel in the MHT line is going to be great quality with great chrome.

TIS 07 - Beauty of a wheel, will look tight on your car. However they're gonna be a bitch to keep clean. The other thing about this wheel is that because of its popularity there's a pretty good chance you'll see it around. I'm all about originality.

Zenetti Heir - gorgeous wheel. I've seen it in person in both chrome and black with a chrome lip. If you like that full-faced style then I think that is a beautiful wheel. Great quality on the wheel too. One prob that I have with the wheels that you've picked is some are open-wheel design and some are full-faced...what do you ultimately want your car to look like? If you like the luxury look then I would go with a more full-faced wheel...if you want sport luxury sedan I would go with a more open-faced wheel.

Giovanna Type 405 - IMO the Giovanna and Gianelle wheels are a ****ty match for this car. And I can speak from experience because I bought the Gianelle V5s and sent them back. First neither label makes a 5X115...only 5 on 41/2 (4.5/114.3) which if I'm not mistaken is the problem that you had the last time. Also both labels only make the offsets in a +10, +20, or +30. It's just a crappy match in my opinion, but I do love that wheel.

Dvinci - Hell no!

I would start with budget, how you want your car to look (luxury or sporty), forged or die-cast, staggered or straight set, proper offset dependent on wheel width, chrome or color matched, is weight a factor for you, etc.

If it's a 22X9 I would go with a +18 offset. If it's a 22X9.5 I would go with a +15 although dependent on the wheel you could rub the arm...+18 could rub the fender and you would have to have them rolled. It's also all about the tire and the design of the sidewall as well.

Let me know if you need help with a great deal. I can hook you up with a very good deal on Zenetti, DUB, and TIS.

Hope this helps.

the Zenetti wheel looks gorgeous, and also, I rarely see them on the 300's (call them to see if they make the correct offset for our cars tho ) Like everyone said, the TIS* line of wheels looks good, and have the perfect fit as well, but every 300 has them... Up to you on this HEMI4ME...
I would go Zenetti..
