Question what do you think about these?

I was thinking about either getting some cheap rims like these (if they fit and i can put my stock tires on them) or waiting a couple of months until i save up and buy better ones. so what do you guys think? and do they fit with the stock tires? thanks

Bolt Pattern -Universal 5x100 and 5x114.3
Offset- +40mm

Stock tires will fit no matter what. Those offsets will fit fine as well.

I wouldn't waste your hard earned dollars on wheels you don't really want that bad. Save your up your dough and keep on the look out for a good deal on some wheels you can't live without.

save your money and buy something that is worth buying, if you buy cheap wheels you would regred it.

good luck!

I dont even know the brand, my friend just sent me a link.
The thing is that i dont know if i will ever buy a nice set of rims, at least as a college student. For now i might just get one of these. I can always sell them on craigslist. thanks for the opinions guys, keep them coming.

If you must, at least get a better size/offset. Go with an 18x9.5 with an offset lower than 35mm. At least the fitment will be good.

All 3 of those choices look like eBay trash. Save up for better sized/quality rims...

Define cheap.

If they are REALLY cheap... I would say first or 3rd choice.

I think you should find a fourth wheel you like and put one of each of the 4 on your car. Yes. Do it.

those are the only time attack style they have, the other would have to be chrome or something lol..... at least no one could tell if i get the same on each side

These are cheap....like 1/3 of what you guys pay for. around 400+-

Ok maybe you're right...I'll step it up notch.
still not gonna spend more than 1k on wheels but this is a little better i think. At least i know the brand.
http://dragwheels.com/product.asp?ID=130
the 18x8 are offered with an offset of either 35 or 48. should i go with near stock n get the 48 or which one would look better?
I can't quite decide between the time attack bronze or gunmetal for my bb.
thanks again.
