Buying Rims.. any suggestions?
I recently changed my mind about a rim I had decided on buying (it looked nice off the car, but horrible on cars that are larger than a bmw z3 lol..).
So.. any suggestions? I'm specifically looking for 19" Black Rims with a machined lip finish (or 18" if they don't look tiny on the car). Also, I don't really have much so my budget is about 600 dollars or less for a set of 4..
Thanks in advanced.

Don't think that you will find anything good for $600 in what your looking for.

we'll I've found some Azul Black Speedmesh Rims and they look amazing.. but they're only 18"s.. for 899$ with a set of 225/40/18 tires/shipping/handling/mounting/balancing all included with install kit, which is a pretty good deal if you ask me.. but you know how 18"s compared to 19"s is just no comparison..
So I'd prefer 19"s if possible, but I can live with 18"s.. just wonder how they'd look on my car.. I dont want it to look too small, you know what I mean?

okay.. i apologize for this TRIPLE post, but I just found these beautifiul rims for DIRT CHEAP!
Go to ebay and type these in (or copy and paste)"19 Rims Accord Maxima 350Z G35 Mazda Civic Altima Wheel" into the search box and you'll get the rims I'm looking at.. The thing is, they have no name for the brand, nor does DXR performance pop up when I do google search.. so it looked pretty fishy, so I went to his selling information and i looked at the prices they were sold at.. and to my amazement.. 500-600$ for these babys!! It seems like this guy has an endless supply of them though.
So.. should i get them?.. they look similar to the Azul's but they're 19"s and for tires I can buy them separately for 500$ so all together you're looking about $1100, for brand new tires and 19" rims.. not so bad if you ask me. Well yeah.. I'm kinda looking for rims that kinda look like these..
What do you guys think?..

$500 for 19" tires? Don't scrimp on tires either - you'll regret it when you're in a curve on a wet road and the flashy 19" rims and crappy tires end up wrapping you around a tree.
If this is the route you want to take - save your money until you have enough to do the job right.
I'm on quality-built 18s and General UHP tires (as are many members here) - they don't look bad at all and offer more performance than I really ever use - some will even say 18s fit the TL better than 19s.......

the tires i saw for $500 were Hankooks H105 V4ES and the treadwear was 420, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Hankooks are a good brand, and 420 Treadwear is terrific.
And as for the rims.. the guy got some good feedback, so I'm not going to regret it..
So I was like DAMN.. MUST.. GET..
