I was thinking about either getting some cheap rims like these (if they fit and i can put my stock tires on them) or waiting a couple of months until i save up and buy better ones. so what do you guys think? and do they fit with the stock tires? thanks

i was almost sure because i know that the stock wheels are also 18x8....i'm more concerned about the offset of those wheels

 

Stock tires will fit no matter what. Those offsets will fit fine as well.

 

ok cool thanks
now what do you guys think about the styles of the wheels? which one do you like if any?

 

I wouldn't waste your hard earned dollars on wheels you don't really want that bad. Save your up your dough and keep on the look out for a good deal on some wheels you can't live without.

the 1st pic or the last

 

save your money and buy something that is worth buying, if you buy cheap wheels you would regred it.

good luck!

 

Nice looking rims, what brand are they?

 

I dont even know the brand, my friend just sent me a link.
The thing is that i dont know if i will ever buy a nice set of rims, at least as a college student. For now i might just get one of these. I can always sell them on craigslist. thanks for the opinions guys, keep them coming.

 

by the way my 8 is brilliant black with a ms body kit

 

Save money, buy legit rims

 

If you must, at least get a better size/offset. Go with an 18x9.5 with an offset lower than 35mm. At least the fitment will be good.

 

All 3 of those choices look like eBay trash. Save up for better sized/quality rims...

 

i love ebay trash

 

1st or 2nd

 

save, SAve, SAVE !!!

 

Looks like plastic IMO.

Define cheap.

If they are REALLY cheap... I would say first or 3rd choice.

 

I think you should find a fourth wheel you like and put one of each of the 4 on your car. Yes. Do it.

 

^^^ problem solved. This way you don't have to choose!

 

I hate to admit it now but back in the day I had two different pairs of rims on each side of my Maxim

 

those are the only time attack style they have, the other would have to be chrome or something lol..... at least no one could tell if i get the same on each side

These are cheap....like 1/3 of what you guys pay for. around 400+-

 

Well if you feel safe driving on $100 rims be my guest, I'll say choice #3

 

Ok maybe you're right...I'll step it up notch.
still not gonna spend more than 1k on wheels but this is a little better i think. At least i know the brand.

the 18x8 are offered with an offset of either 35 or 48. should i go with near stock n get the 48 or which one would look better?
I can't quite decide between the time attack bronze or gunmetal for my bb.
thanks again.
