lookin at some wheels
ive been looking for a set of wheels for my white sedan, and came across these.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=019
they are pretty much exactly what ive been looking for and a damn good price. just wondering if anybody has heard of them, and how everyone thinks theyll look. its a shame i just spent almost $400 on new tires with my stock rims, but now i guess i can have those for winter, and these in the summer. thanks all.
also, there shudnt be any issues having these wheels with my car lowered about 1 3/4 in right?

never heard of them, they'll look good (besides the fact that they're black)
....sigh... no the wheels won't matter with your car lowered, the OVERALL DIAMETER IS THE SAME as stock if you get the correct sized tires.

Dang!!! Those are nice rims. Even with the $200 shipping, it would be worth getting them to me here in Canada. $400.00 for a set of rims like that! Nice price. Now, hopefully the FRIGGIN INCOME TAX!!! will get here sometime this year!!!!!!

Nice Rims. I prefer it with a Chrome Lip though.
You still haven't gotten your tax?

A couple of things you should ask yourself before your purchase:
1) That seller has negative feedback and you're not talking about one or two buyers out of a 1,000. Why would you buy from them? I wish eBay had a search filter by feedback. Anyways it's your money, your choice.
2) Are you going to mount and balance the tires yourself or take it to a tire shop?
3) Did you get at least a couple quotes on wheels+tires mounted, balanced, shipped ? There are stores online that offer free shipping and free mounting and balancing included in their package.

been thinking more, and dont think im gonna buy these. ive been debating for a while between larger rims (17") and sticking with stock size (15") and i found these in 15"
http://www.wheelmax.com/wheelcolors....07&color=Black
they r cheaper than those other ones, and i wont have to get new tires, which is good cuz the ones i have have less than 2k on them. its still up in the air tho. |

aftermarket wheels should be 17+, anything less looks dumb, don't waste money going small
