^ ha ha.

agreed though, no.

if they're really your style, sure, but i don't think x9.5 +45 would work. and both those tire sizes would be stretched. doable i'm sure, but stretched.

^NO. You will not find any wheels that are nice, and people will hate you for buying cheap wheels! Or at least I will. Save up another $600 then get yourself a decent set of wheels.
