Post Should i trade wheels or not

Well i have been debating on making a trade for my stock wheels. the reason for the trade would just be for a better lookin winter wheel which right now are my stockers. Plus i dont really drive my car in the winter as in rain or snow. so i dont like snow tires or anthing. i didnt want people to think that they would be the wheels id be keeping. so should i trade my stock wheels for some icw 18s. heres a pic of the style of wheel. i just thought they would be a better lookin beater wheel until i get what i want. but i dont want people to think that im rockin these forever. plus the offsets suck, like stock offsets really. so what do you guys think?? please help

I'm not feeling this rim but if I had to choose between the stocker and it, I would definitely do the trade...

they're definitely better than riding on stockers, even if its just temporary.

i had some black wheels that i was temporarily riding on, until i got what i really wanted.


i say do it

you are right i defintely dont like the wheels either. but i guess they are better than stock. but the offsets are like 45 and there only 7.5 inches wide. ill paint them like a flat black if i do just so it looks like there just on there and not like im rockin them. i wasnt even lookin for wheels at the moment but someone offered so i was like let me think about it. i definetly wont be postin pics like look at my sweet wheels or anything.

Do the trade, it'll be easier to sell the aftermarket rims later on craigslist for more money.
