Question why still no solution to a better rim fitting to an sc400?????

okay ive searched Ive looked around the fitting thread is wat im not understanding but hey Wat u guys meant by cheap rims. like the weight or quality. i had a nissan latio a commercial dumb car to be honest and i had installed a 18 inch gestalt virouges i had less knowledge about the fittings back then later i kept spending money on the bushings and control arms and suspensions and wat not . okay now i just got me self a sc400 v8 auto b4 i get some rims on it i need to know how can i find the looks with a comfort drive. and a perfect rim i dont mind going for somthing which u frends installed on your rides since all of them just look amazing. thank you sorry for not doing my re-search.

Im lost... Did you go through the fitment thread? Honestly you can slap any 5x114.3 rim on... Whether it will look good is another story.

you need to fix your grammar for starters.

wheels will not make your bushings wear out or create shake unless the wheels are not balanced.

only thing that low offset wheels wear out are wheel bearings and its not even that bad on our cars. i have been doing the "slammed, stretched, and sliding" thing on low offset wheels for 3+ years and i have one bad wheel bearing; and its not even that bad.

better question is what you plan to do with the car and what other modification you have done to the car or going to do soon. ie...bushings, adjustable control arms, brakes, shocks.
