probably not. the stock wheels are 8" wide so when buying aftermarket wheels try to get some that are at least 8" or wider.

Why would you want those.

Keep looking man, but then again that's my

Also when the listing says they may not fit over Brembos, that's your sign not to get them. It's not worth figuring that out unless you are head over heels for those wheels. (hehe that rhymed).

Real quick... let me break down this company RVM

They are con-artists.... their wheels are SHIT... S H I T


A few years back, my girlfriend wanted some cheap wheels for her Mazda Protege... so I went over to the RVM warehouse and picked up some cheap 17s and tires for around $600-$700


The guy said they will fit just fine, and the PCD/Offset was correct for her car....

So, i said lets do.... Pulled her car in, and waiting.... Now, mind you, its about 4:30PM, almost closing time... They mount balance the tires, put the car on the lift, install the wheels, and lower the car

I walk in, and pay, get a receipt. We get into her car, i start it, put it in reverse, and all you hear is GGGRRRRRRUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNKKKKKK. The wheels are rubbing against her calipers....

So I walk over to the guy, and the FIRST THING he says, is no refunds, we already balanced the tires...

so before i flip the script, The other guy says hang on, we're gonna check it out...


So, i go out for a cigarette, and come back 5 minutes later... THEY ARE DREMMELING AND SHAVING DOWN HER CALIPERS WITH A SOME KIND OF HANDHELD METAL GRINDER


I start to FLIPPPPPPPPP OUT. FLIP OUT. I ask this guy WTF do you think your doing, he says, and i quote "Oh, you signed the invoice, which states that we may have to make modifcations to your car, to make the wheels fit"

Now its only me and her, and about 5 of them... so theres nothing i can do yet. I leave with the rims and tires. No more rubbing, since they shaved her calipers already/

I file a claim with better business bureau. No response. I call up and speak to the "manager" he tells me I'm shit out of luck....This is when i finally lost it.

I am a professional, decent, well-mannered human being... So i wont do anything rash that will compromise my future or put me in jail.


However, i have friends and family who are willing to settle things and have a very , VERY convincing appeal to them.


I wont go into the details of what transpired, but i received a phone call a week later, with a refund of $230 (enough to buy her 2 new (rebuilt) front calipers and a 5mm spacer)



f.u.c.k. RVM.

Sorry for the rant, but nobody on this forum every brought up RVM wheels before

yea, these guys are real pieces of shit.... and it takes a lot for me to go over the edge. I manage a portion of 27 retails stores, and i know a lot about proper business practices and customer service....


I'll slander these guys @ any chance i have.
