Rims, to buy or not to buy

[reddog69]

my friend wants to sell me his old rims for either $400 or $500 hes not sure yet
it includes the rims & tires with good tread

they're 18x7.5 quantum tek S08's
i believe the offset is 42mm

what do you guys think? think ill have problems with the odometer n shit?

to be brutally honest, they look gay. Add few more hundred dollars to that and get some decent rims. Those on the pic look like hubcaps from walmart

[war0827]

size should be fine. but like ufo said, style is pretty fugly looking.

if you've got $400-$500 to spend, put some more in and get a set of better rims. Personally, I'd spend that money on a set of wheels that would actually look nice.

The style is ok, and ok is kinda pushin it. If you do get them I suggest getting them chromed it will take away some of that janky walmart hubcap look.

style is kinda...hmm...ghetto. reminds me of everything i see at my school on all the cars.

Not to knock, but I seen better for less. Maybe the camera angleis weird and they look better in real life. That rear lip looks like its a little bit shredded. But - your call. IMHO.

[Wibbit]

i dont think they look too bad. theyre not ugly imo but you can certainly get some better looking wheels that suit your taste especially. style is subjective, so in the end its down to you. personally id go for something a bit more agressive because the car itself certainly isnt. im looking at some Racinghart C5 wheels atm

i dun like them.

Just whatever you do don't get chrome rims

Those rims don't compliment the car very well. I would wait and get something that you really like My 2 cents.......

Hell I got my rims and tires for $300(but the wher 17's).
If I where you, for $500 I would got to wheelmax for some rims and then save up on some good tires.

NOTE (when buying used rims): Always take his car for a test drive with the rims on it. That way you can see if they are bent or need balancing
