There is (...well, maybe "was" by now) a set of ISx50 18" wheels+tires for sale for like 350bucks in the classified. If S/H wasn't so much, I would have picked those up in a heartbeat .

Just put some snow tires for when it gets warmer and spend time looking for that perfect wheel.

I would, but it may offend some members. It's all fun and games until people's names get put out there.

To be honest, the GS Section and their "check out my new wheels" threads have to be some of the ugliest **** on car's forums.

You mean those "VIP" wheels that look like UFO's?

Because I'm not feeling them one bit..

Yeah I have to agree, not everyone has the same taste or style. If they like it, that is all that matters.

But with the case of the original poster, I don't think it was the intention of the previous owner to express his style. I think he just needed wheels to sell the car and that's what he came up with.

And obviously having those "ugly" wheels didn't affect your decision to buy the car, since you did buy it.

I would think that some of the pics posted would belong to fellow members here and said members may take offense to it? Just my 2 cents, and not my call to make..
