Wheel Suggestions?

Question for the experts here: I've had my 50S for 2 years now and have reached a point where I regret not buying rims for the winter tires I bought initially. Anyhow, now that I have Blizzaks to go with the factory 21" wheels, I'm thinking of buying some after-market rims.

Anyhow, I know 21" is a weird number and offers some limited choices. But, so far, all I've found are either another set of factories (which is like $4000ish for the set) or some Lorenzo WL28 rims which are around $1200 for the set. Obviously, a lot more affordable.

So, was wondering what everyone's thoughts are Lorenzo rims and are there other brands out there that I should consider for 21"...? Thanks in advance! :)
 
go to 22". I have 18" for my winters and hate the tire selection for my 21". if you simply upgrad to 22" you open up your options for both tires and rims.

I know (in the "other" forum) you said you already own a set of winter tires in 21s... but IMO... in the long run, you're really better off going 22s or 20s.

I did a quick application look up for a FX50S... and what they have to offer, I don't really care for. I like the mesh one, but doesn't look like they make a proper fit for the FX.

Have you ever look at Vossen wheels? http://www.vossenwheels.com/
 
Thanks guys. Vossen has some nice looking wheels...But, I'm not entirely sure if I'm ready to go with the "sell the 21"-fitting-Blizzaks" route yet. The thing is not sure what the market is for a used set of those here since well, 21" tires are so rare anyhow.

There is also not that many FXs where I'm at. So, I'd have to sell those tires and also ante up for new wheels AND rubbers. Not sure if I want to put that much.
