Recommendation on a mesh wheel with a nice lip

Some time down the line, I will be getting rims and I haven't decided if I want to get some 7th gen 19's or something else. I really like what the HP Lightnings look like, but I hear they are getting discontinued...



Looks great, but I'm sure that's a big rim to have that kind of lip, from the pics I've seen, the 18s lips are smaller. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for a mesh rim like this with a really nice lip in 17s or 18s. I don't like big rims, so those would be the sizes I want. 19s in OEM I could go for maybe, but I'm not too sure on that yet, I'd prefer a 17 or 18 and I don't want 3 piece rims that are really expensive. I really wanna spend as little as possible and I don't need to worry about tires yet.

Any recommendations?

TSW Snetterton is pretty nice and doesn't have a huge lip and if you want a lipless rim you should check out Tenzo Type-M which are one of my favorites. Just remember they are both pretty heavy rims. I know the 18" HPs are 26lbs same with the Tenzos I'm not sure about the TSW. Try to find some SE-Rs, lipless ,light and sexy.

A few more I found today. At least with the 17s, I wouldn't need new tires.

I think ADR M Sport would look pretty nice and they are relatively cheap. Except they are prone to paint failure, I searched for a couple used ADR rims and most if not all of them had corrosion that needed to be repainted.

Not sure why

Why do reps when the real things can be found for well under 2K in decent sizes? BTW you can call RB wheels and haggle the price down pretty easily. That's what I did for my wheels.
