Not familiar with the brand name. I think the design looks pretty decent but note they are a half inch narrower than your stock wheels. This may or may not make a difference to you.

going more narrow than the stock wheel isn't really going to benefit you at all, unless like stated above you are going to try to drive them in the winter. You have a 30 thousand dollar car, don't cheap out and buy knock off rims

Don't go with those. Just wait a little bit. A lot of people are selling their '04's. A lot of them are modded too. I'm sure there will be an opportunity to get better rims than 18x7.5. To be honest, I think they're too thin. The stance won't be aggressive enough. That's just my opinion.

$225 for shipping? That's highway robbery. I'd pass just on that alone.
You're better off saving up for some used wheels which are at least 18x8. Or you can wait to see if there are any '09 stockers that will eventually hit the market. They're pretty nice IMHO.

then you really shouldn't even consider modifying this car until you can afford to do it right. Just the other day a friend of mine who bought knock off rims absolutely destroyed one beyond repair by hitting a medium size pot hole at city speed. I'm telling you, save your money... don't buy knock offs.... appreciate the real things after saving money for quite some time. You are 19 years old, by 21 if you save a little here and there who knows what you'll be able to afford?

Sometimes it takes a while to get what you want. Hell, it took me 7 years to actually own a brand new car.

I would pass on the wheels honestly and wait to get some really nice forged ones, this is coming from someone who has gotten 2 sets of knock offs and they last about as long as your tires....
