Ebay Rimz
I'm just wondering what the quality of the rims for sale by the big merchants on ebay.
For example these wheels:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Mu...spagenameZWDVW
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Wh...spagenameZWDVW
That is an awesome price. Just not sure on the quality of the wheel.

the first ones wouldnt be too bad
theyre a bit lacking in the size department (7.5?) and they look like te37s
get at least 8.5 or 9.0
in the +30 to +35 offset range

I got my ADR's on ebay (18x8.5) and bought some new tires in the stock size and hey fit perfect IMO. Also the quality is just as good as anything...never have had any issues. $300 for the set is what I paid....can't go wrong. Plus if they did start to peel or whatever, I can refinish them myself, as I work in a body shop. Go me!

so my rims belong on a civic? umm..no.
I'd rather not spend 3 grand on wheels and tires because its some big name brand, and spend the majority on go fast parts....hence my turbo.

^^3 grand including tires that is too...Maybe you can get away with spending 1-2 grand with tires...but still...I just cant justify spending that much money on wheels at the moment.
I knew the look I wanted, the adr m-sports fit the bill, and they were cheap. I'm happy.
If it ever gets to the point where they do start to peel, I will refinish them either solid black or a gunmetal.

I think they look nice. I really like the way the guy in the picture painted the lips yellow. That looks really sick. I, too, would go with at least the stock width. Let us know how it goes with some pictures, if you get them. I've dropped serious coin on high quality rims and still had issues. Rims take a lot of abuse with road debris, so get what you like and deal with the issues as they arise...because they will arise regardless of what brand. Besides, the go fast bits for the RX-8 aren't cheap, so your extra money would be better spent on those those bits rather than crazy expensive wheels.

i had a set of VSR's on my car for a while....for the price you cant go wrong and they were sturdy....but every single set of ADR's i had or seen got bent or cracked pretty easily......as for finding a good deal on wheels it is possible...i got mine from a guy selling them on ebay for a song.......he was anxious to sell and i lowballed him
