cheap rims

would these actually be worth it? I am looking for some cheap rims and these dont seem that expensive and for 800-900 I can have them shipped to my door.
What wheels are they since they seem like a knockoff of some better wheels?

car is NBP. yea I think they would look nice on the car since I have dark tints and the chrome lip would kind of set it off and it would match the door handles and the window trim. still debating tho

if thats the style you like and you have a budget, im sure you can find some just like that a little bit cheaper. you have 4 days. check tire rack and tires.com but i would definitely keep an eye on those. they would look real nice on a NBP

yea they come with the tires too. it seems like a fair price but the shipping would be around 360$. still not a bad price.

It's all in the numbers man
$124.75 x 4 = $499 shipping
Wheels = $499.00
$998 total...average price for an 18" wheel tire package

124.75$ average PER ITEM, shipping to canada is 360$. and trust me we dont get privilages of cheap shit up here. I were to buy them from canada at least 1600-2000$. I think i will be getting them. I believe they will fit too. they should by the specs hey?

well it is an ebay tire package and its cheap so I cant expect anything crazy but for 4-5 month out of a year use thats not gonna be a huge problem. if they last 2 summers it will be good enough. and I dont do much driving anyways.

WELL... last night I was gonna order the wheels and tuner lugs and some rings but then I decided I will go out and drink for a bit with some friends. well I came home around midnight and compleatly forgot aobut them. Then this morning I went to order them and they are SOLD. now I am uber pissed off at myself. I just hope its not some guy from AZ who saw this thread cuz that would be low. well now the search continues.
