Wheels man, they're called wheels. Unless you're a thug then by all means.

Eh, those rims look too..."Boy racer" for me. Though, if you like them, by all means. It's your car, if it makes you pleased, go for it.

Anything that has touched an eclipse should not be on an eight. Its probably carrying diseases...

Are you sure they fit? I didn't think that the eclipse had the same bolt pattern....(at least my 98 GSX did't )

Get new wheels for the 8? Sure. Put some hand-me-down Eclipse wheels on the 8? Probably not. Like others have said they probably won't fit, and I'd bet if they do fit they will be a downgrade (7.5" wide, etc.).

When I had my first 8 I had aftermarket wheels and I let him put my stocks on his ride and they fit. Idk...I just wanted to upgrade and I thought they were pretty decent looking wheels.
