Not really feeling the rims that much. I'll pass. But if you really like them, get them. Curious as to what kind of "work" needs to be done to the rims? Bent? Curbed?

If they need work its not worth it.. Your better off looking in the Classifieds or contacting a wheel vender..

Yeah, 600 will be a bit hard.... If you can only spend 600 right now, I recommend waiting and saving up.

Remember, you have to take into account buying new tires (if you go 19") , which can go up to $1400 for a set of PS2s

So thats 1.7k + wheels + install (47 per tire where I went, which included tpms and balancing)

My rims (Five Axis S5:F) were 1k ... but after tires and install it was about 2.6k
