Default what u guys think of these rims?

hey guys what do you guys think of these rims??

Also.. its 32/38 offset.. how will that fit my car? I want the nice flush look, but i dont mind having them stick out a bit in the back.. if they dont i'll just get spacers. Let me know.. thx in advance

the offsets are horrible. You'll be needing some spacers. I'd rather go with some used Axis Milanos.

I would go with Axis or Volk if you want something like that. You dont want to spend money on wheels and have them weigh 1000lbs. Shop around and stay off e-gay. I like the TE37's, I think it would set off my cf hood and PPW paint. Comes at a hefty cost though.

He's lookin for that 900 price range obviously....in no way would he want to spend 3500 to get the Volks (and tires).


To the OP- don't get those....+35 offset will give far to much of the "tucked in" look.....shoot for +22 F and R with a 9.5 and 10.5 width wheel, regardless of make and weight






That and I buy a ton of stuff off of ebay and there is nothing wrong with that (e-ghey?). What's wrong with saving money? It all depends on what YOU the buyer is shopping for. Sure type in cold air intake and you'll get a bunch of ghey stuff, but I just got a whole new set of taylor r7's for 500 less brand new.

What happens if 5 members say yes and 5 say no? Then you are back to where you started.

I just don't think they're that much of an upgrade from your OEM rims...

I'm not feeling your first choice, I like the second better.

Well i can budget to get better ones. I appreciate all of your input. But im running, and sorry to say, on ugly stock 17s.. they have to go. I want 19s now with the lip. I like the simple look tho they dont look that much different.. but i like that... gives a subtle change without saying "aftermarket" too much. I was originally looking into axis pentas, who knows. But i think i'll go with my second choice. Some people are into name brands and what not.. but im not as hardcore like some of you guys. I just like to have a nice lookin ride. I already have a pop charger.. and i'll get an exhaust system soon as well.. and tein suspension.. but thats as far as im gonna go... and spending 4k on rims just surpases my rational at this point.

You can get some nice inexpensive 19's for around $800 new...all 4 wheels for that price. Do a search for cheap/inexpensive 19's, you should come up with some good suggestions. There is a company that makes the inexpensive 19's that a lot of members have, but I can't remember the name of the company.
It's not about the name. Just get some good lookin' wheels with a decent offset +22-25 or so, and you'll be good.
Good Luck
