What do you think of these two rims?

The funny thing is, I placed an order for some 17's on TireRack but they said they never got the order, so i'm looking around some more before I buy.

I was looking on eBay and found these rims, one is a 17 and the other is an 18.

Do they look good for the shipped price? And do you think they look pretty good?

The 18s are the best in my opinion but you would definetely have to get some 225/45/18 tires. The only problem I can see with the 18s is cleaning it right with the outerrim bolt pattern.

I agreed with EuroPlate on these wheels. Also it comes with Lexani tires which is a lot better than those Wanli tires (made in China) they are noisy, harsh, poor traction...just bad tires.
Just make sure you don't get the Wanli tires.

the offset for those rims are +48, isn't that a little too high for a 7.5 width?... unless you want to go for the tucked look

I saw that the tires with the 17's did look pretty cheap. I do like the rims you posted above, but not exactly my favorite. So now I'm looking at a new set of 18's, and the one listed in my first post.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-AD...6967QQtcZphoto



Even though the offset is 48mm, would they still fit?

same deal, offset is too high... and your going to get the wrong tire size... 215/35/18 will give you a MAJOR speedo and odometer error... you want atleast 225/40/18 to minimize error

To add on what Netforcer said about the wrong tire size (smaller size in this case) will make an even bigger gap between your wheels and your roller fence. Then you are force to dropped the car with TRD spring or similar product. It still won't look tight if your tires are too small.
Spend time doing lot of research before you buy.

When I was on tire rack all the tires were 215's, so are you saying I should go with 225's?

And yeah, I am having a hard time deciding which rims to get.

I've been looking at getting rims/tires myself so I understand how tough it is deciding between all the available options. You should use a tire calculator to find a suitable tire size.

I found 215/55R17 and 235/45R18 keeps the speedo close for 17" and 18".
