Spend the money and get a good set of wheels.

Don't go with any knock offs. Get the real deal. You will be glad you did.

Looks like the cheap version of the Volks GT-s. Again, I emphasize the cheap part. No disrespect for Volks.

What's the width on those things? Make sure you settle on something that is 8.0" wide or more as stock width is 8.0". Not sure about those particular wheels, but I see a lot of 18" x 7.5" in that and similar brands.

I don't wanna go over the top, i want something simple, yet unique. Personally i like this wheel set a lot. I saw it on a black 8 when i was getting info over at the shop, and imo it looked pretty damn cool. Just the style i was trying to go for.

Yeah, for cheap wheels they look good. Just make sure they are at least 8" wide. You don't want any 7.5" wheels..

What is your budget? I ask because there is large difference in price between the two wheels you posted. FWIW you do not need to spend $500+ per wheel to get quality.

These wheels are G-Games which is made by Rays which is the same company that produces Volk wheels. They are made to the same standard as all wheels that carry the Rays name but cost less.
