Naw i like em, for 150$ a rim ill take it. i love that spoke design, it mirrors what i really wanted which is the BBS RG-R. I have been taking my time, and this is the best ive come up with. trust me, new rims are a birthday gift with a 1,500$ cap on it... my b-day is june 1st.. ive been lookin ever since.

Try 5zigen sport engine 3000. Similiar design, new retail is 330 per rim and should put you near what you want. They should clear is250 brake calipers (barely didnt clear the 350's) and are a step up from what you have there. Unless you need tires.

Some people will hate, but coming from below the poverty level as a kid, if I could do something like that for my kid when shes of age, I would. Use it responsibly (as it seems that you already are from taking your time and not blowing the budget). Good luck in your search.

I like the design. Can't speak to the quality since I don't know the brand though.

I'll take that $1,500 gift and put my money on top of that to get what I really want. If you want those rims, then that's find. I'm guessing thats rim with tires since the rims are only $150. There are some things you can go budget on but I rather spend some money on nice wheels. You do have a luxury sports car.

i looked those up, love them. Where would the best place to buy be? my dad owns a body shop so he will be able to get off whatever the site posts.

and as far as being spoiled goes, my dad had a terrible father/ childhood, so now he is just extremely generous. i make no claims i deserve any of this, and i assure you i am very grateful for everything i have.

thanks for the advice.

for 1500 i would browse the wheels and tires classifieds. i know it's not what you wanted, but i've seen some volk te/le's go for around 1600 with tires. who knows, you may end up finding a set you like in the classifieds.
