^Agreed. They are pretty expensive wheels.
Honestly I like all of the wheels you posted. I am leaning towards the first set posted because they have a lip. If you wanted to get a staggered set-up, those would be the best set
If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to get new wheels? I love the wheels you have on your car now. If I were you, I would take the money for wheels and get the A-Spec kit.

The problem is, is that they were given to me from my cousin, and even though the pictures don't show it, they are in not so good condition. The passenger front has 4 deep nicks on the spokes, the driver's front and rear has some bad curb rash, and all the rims are peeling. They are in poor condition. I went to discount and asked them about the first one since I like it the most. They said it was 216 per rim, on my iphone I had the link that I posted in here for it being 125 dollars. The manager came and said they had to honor the internet price, so I went to my car, and called around to see if it was cheaper anywhere else, and the next cheapest was 159, then I called to see how much to repair my rims and the cheapest was 150, so I decided it would be better to get new ones since I need to repair all 4 rims. I also like the 1 spoke to 2 spoke split. If the rims were in better condition, I would be keeping them. I will post them in the BM and also craigslist. People have told me flawless, I could sell them for 750, so I will be selling them starting at 600. If you are interested let me know. I put a deposit for 125 dollars on the rims and they should be here in 3 to 5 days and discount is installing em for me. I am using the same rims...

To be honest, I really don't want to get rid of my current ones. I looked for new Phins but couldn't find a reasonably priced set. I would keep them if it wasn't so bad, but it bothers me.

I understand why you want to get new ones now. I'm looking forward to seeing the new ones on the car!

I suggest you have them order you an extra set of the center caps too. They're not made out of the highest quality plastic and tend to warp and fall out over time. The Kyalamis are being discontinued and it will be hard to get replacement center caps in the future.

Lol don't worry, I still have enough xmas money to get those. There is no way I would pick looks over performance. I am ordering those Monday.
I am...
That was the deciding factor for me!
Ya I went to a Discount Tire store, and got 8.0, they don't make 'em in 8.5 any more, but I think I will like the 8.0's.

Lol, so today I called Discount to check on them, and they said TSW discontinued the Kyalami's, so I went there, and got these instead...

They were 250 ea. but the Discount guy gave 'em to me for 200 ea.! They should be on my ride by next week (hopefully Monday)
. I decided I wanted to change to black, also they didn't have the dark ones in a +40 offset. So I am patiently waiting.

Not to sound like a jerk but,
i was 16 not too long ago...and i curbed the shit outta my tires (good thing I was in an f150) LOL
But i would keep those rims you have now, cause I saw them at the meet, and i didnt notice any scratches. Dont get anything on your car you aren't prepared to get scratched/dented/broken...especially at 16 haha
Trust me

I am willing to take my chances. I know my car very well. I can always judge how far, and what not I am from things, I am not too worried. And I'm not getting the TSW's.

Might be a little personal but...damn how do you afford all that at 16?
I can't even afford my insurance payment, let alone dropping $1000+ on a set of wheels.
