Hello guys

I'm not in the market for rims....YET

probably a few months after summer...that's when i'll act. Are these pretty good? tires and rims and mounting and balancing for 600 bucks? I'm loving what I see!

17 inch is a good choice for me because I can't afford to add anymore weight to my car...it's a 5sfe lol

anyway, any feedback would be much appreciated

um...I hope this is the right section to post in...if not, please don't flame me...haha

God bless

I would want to know what kind of tires these are, and I have never heard of these wheels. ANY HIGH QUALITY tire costs at least $589 a set so I guess the wheels are free! Anyway you get what you pay for. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. My quess is these wheels are crap and the tires are crap.

I'd question who VRD is, never heard of them.
"VRD is considered the leader in wheel manufacturing and engineering technology." :roll:

thanks guys

yeah...guess cheap is never the way too go

so how much do I have to save up for a nice set of 18's "5 to 6 spoke gunmetal with polished lip"?

around 1g? cuz even that would be pretty expensive...

I should just keep an eye on ebay, and hope to steal a deal like Louis(solarat) did...

help me out!

thanks

It really depends on what brand you are looking for now.
you seem to prefer the gunmetal/polish lip look so all you have to find now is a brand.

as for $1k it's do able, but w/ a higher budget you're open to more selections. just save up and count how much you will have by summer.

ebay has some great deals.... brand new 18" konig for approx $500, ADR for around $300, usually without tires. Many are sold by dealers with high ratings too. Thats where I'm gonna get mine from!

I'm getting 18" ADR's for $500 and then Nitto ZR rated tires for another $550. I probably could of gotten a better deal on some other rims but I really love the rims I'm getting.
