My New wheels

Hey guys, just put some new wheels on. I got a great deal on these, working at discount tire direct. My next mission is to lower the car.

Anyways, was hoping to get some thoughts on the wheels. Thanks










**Edit** well i tried to post this in the photographs gallery, but my 20 open tabs tricked me...mods please move this to the correct area...i apologize

They're not bad. I've been casually looking through wheels that run a budget-friendly $150-$200 bucks a pop and are 18x8 in size. I simply refuse to throw out 3-4k for the wheels I really like, especially due to the rural roads that consist of most of my daily commute. Tire Rack has some good wheel/tire combo prices, and I may find that some of the larger tire outlets here out West (Les Schwab, America's Tire) may be competitive as well. Money is the hold up right now, so who knows when this is going to happen. Like I said, the wheels look good, and will look even better with that drop you are planning.

I agree...I can't afford spending thousands of dollars on wheels and tires...I'm spending less than 700 on this set of tires and wheels

i can't say i like the different widths of the spokes. or if they are just painted that way then that's the part i don't like. but they aren't bad.

They look clean, guess that is because they are new ! But in all seriousness, they aren't my thing either, but if you like them, that is what counts

I'm anxious to see a shot of fronts and backs with wheels and tires on. I'm going to go against the norm and say I like them-they're unique, different! But I'd like to see a shot of the whole car with them on.

I like them. A lot better than some of the shit people put on their cars around here that is seen as "nice."

I have never been a huge fan of the two tone color rims but maybe when you have a whole pic of the car with the rims it will sway me a different way. BTW the car looks clean

As long as you like it, then that's all that matters.
