You are better off painting/powdercoating your stockers black...

FYI If you don't have the nice sport 19s, I am selling a set..

what it comes down to is ur personal choice obviously, xxr's are fine but I agree better off getting stock sport wheels.... or wait and save then get whatever you want. People spend a lot of money on wheels because it has a huge effect on what the car looks like. crappy rims could make a nice car look like isht.

The thing is my car didn't come with stock 18s. They came off from a sedan g37. And another reason why is my tires are completely bald right now. So more reason to buy something other than stock. Stock are like 1500.

FYI I Pm'd you. You can have my stock 19s not 18s, with tires for $1500 or reasonable offer. Tires alone will run you around 700-800$

With any of those cheap rims you listed up top, you still will have to buy tires, pay someone to put them on, balance and mount them. After all said and done you would have still spent around 1500$, but you will be left with a cheap pair of rims with tires worth more than the wheels.

Just something to think about...

I have to agree with both sides on this one......take the advice given that if you are happy with the quality of those rims, then go for it, but just dont make the mistake on buying them, and then wanting a set of Volks/Works/DPE etc in a few months.

Take for example......I tell everyone of my customers that purchases from me, that if you have your mind set on Springs to lower your car, that they will be more content with a full coil-over suspension due to the adjustability factor.

So invest your money wisely the first time if your going to start modding your car.......you will be grateful that you did

Good on you for seeking 2nd opinions. Hopefully you take the advice and don't get them. They look very cheap! I wouldn't be surprised if the tires lasted longer than the wheels. Save up your money man. Find some Stock 19's with tires for 1000-1200 and get them. Your gonna end up spending that on those wheels and tires anyway.
