Lightbulb Help me pick better rims than these cheap ones!

I really like these cheap wheels. (My friends hate them) They are G-Racing Saporro in hyperblack. I want them to go on my red SC300. The specs are 18 x 7.5 wheel with 225/40/18 tires. What do you all think? I know they are cheap but I love the simple design. If you know of any similar wheels please post. My price range is 1500-2000, hopefully with tires included, and I want them 18"

For an SC, I actually like the GRacing SEKI better.



What exactly are you looking for? Same rim style by a better quality manufacturer? Or a six spoke design?

Thanks for the site. I'll look into those, I'm liking the DP5 in hyperblack.

I'm not sure if I want better quality, or just something unique. I don't want the wheels to look like any other ones on the street. But I also don't want something too drastic...

Thanks

Please don't put that size wheel on your car.

You will end up damaging them, and they will look anorexic.

The minimum that will look decent on the car is 18 x 8.5, and that is pushing it.

edit:

Here are some 18", and they are offered in staggered setup for 1699 w/tires shipped!




These are 1499 with tires (staggered)


Both sets are 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5

Default Thanks!

Wow, thank you......thank you..........thank you

This site has so much to look thru in my price range. Those are some great ideas.

I was not sure about the width also, but now I will definitely go at least 8.5"

Once again, thanks

if you want something rare or something better i would wait if i were you and just put some more money away so you could get some nice wheels pick a wheel for your car is a big decision you should not rush and get any wheel i think if you wait and got some nice wheels you would be happy
