New rims HELP!

Alright finally for me to move on to getting some new rims. I have a low budget and would like to keep it under $600. Is there any websites you guys recommend to get some new rims?

people say you get what you pay for and all that jazz but i am VERY satisfied with my sportmaxx wheels. They may be alittle heavier however they are incredibly strong and i have heard great things about them in that area from friends who have hit huge potholes or run into curbs and never bent them. Also, how much weight the wheel takes when it is balanced can say a lot about it. for instance, german wheels almost never take much weight where as american wheels take a lot. the cheaper the wheel the more weight typically. my wheels took almost no weight, about half an ounce per wheel which is incredible, much less then the stock wheels.

Sorry for bringing these alive but would you guys rather get gold rims on a black car or bronze rims?

^Depends on what kind of wheels they are, and what other appearance mods you have done to your car. Both will look good.

You should look at atillas wheels.

Theyre right in your price range and they would look badass on your car.
