x2:Keep your stock joints and wait until you have a better wheel to run with. Those don't seem it would flow right w/your ride anyway....

AND a 245 tire.........

Good luck, but if it were me, I'd take a pass - buy the right rims instead of settling for a "good deal."

okay just found out that my wheels on there are three CL-S and one TL-S wheel... so its all uneven... so need to find some wheels soon...

any recommendations on some wheels that will look nice and not cost me an arm and leg right now since money is tight...

17 or 18in mainly...

the sportmax's will look great, personally i'd opt for a wheel with atleast a 7.5 width and a tad bid higher offset if you dont want to trim tabs, etc.
