Okay, be honest, what do you think?
I don't know. I tried to choose the right wheel for my car, and I'm just not sure this is it. They looked incredible when they were up against the car. Now that they're on, I'm not so sure. What do you think? Is there something missing? Maybe I'm just freaking out over nothing.
Let me know, here's the link:

Thanks for your honesty. I'm not either. But I feel like an idiot going back to the shop and telling them I don't like them and I want to change them. I've got two other options:

http://www.wheelspecialists.com/inde...l&wheel_id=172
the finish would be chrome in either one.

Thanks, know of any good places in AZ to help me drop this thing? I admit, I'm a girl and I'm learning as I go, so I'd rather pay someone to do it than me screw it up. Look how I already screwed up and all I did was choose wheels! I shoulda gone with my gut feeling (the 5 spokes) . . . now I gotta deal with these guys and tell them I'm want to switch them.

Sorrry Kendra, but that first one is kindof "ghetto"
I'm also a 5 spoke guy.
Here's a picture (lowenhart BR5) that looks like your 2nd choice :
BTW, we used to live in AZ, cactus in the front, cactus in the back
Edit: Nevermind, the other Lowehart, not the BR5. Somebody will chime in.
I believe 2 members have them, Lexus Kid and?. I'll just leave the picture here for quick reference.

Thanks! I used to live in California . . . so did you do any of your mods while in AZ? Any recommendations? This wheel thing is killing me. I just can't decide. I feel like whatever I pick, I'm going hate after this first experience. I like the 134's too, but I'm afraid they might look kind of cheap. I'm getting a good deal at this place, and my budget is at its limit right now, so I cant' really go over the cost of these wheels (they are getting me the wheels and the tires for about $2500). The ugly wheels that are on there now are more expensive then my other two choices.

Here are the two choices:
Not really feelin the wheels you have now. It would definately look alot better lowered but out of the two other wheels you posted I think the 5 spoke design will look best

$2500 is a pretty good chunk of $$$ for wheels. Are you taking the first set of wheels to upgrade with them or can you go somewhere else?
Contact D2 or look in the classifieds for better wheels.
Hopefully more AZ members will chime in regarding places for your car.

That is going to be my next mission after getting the right wheels. It's obvious the car is too high up with these wheels. Not sure how much to lower it (don't want to slam it to the ground you know? Just want it to look classy). Also, should I try to buy the springs myself and have someone lower it, I don't want anyone cutting my springs. And I'm not doing it myself.

That price included the tires too. I was going to go back to them since I just had these put on yesterday. I don't think I can really get out of backing out of the whole deal altogether. The guy also gave me a new set of tires for my stock wheels since I towed my car in there with two flat tires.

Pole Position
Go with the 5 spokes
If those are your only 2 choices i would agree with the others and go with the 5 spokes... Also check the vendors marketplace section because there is a group buy going on for some L-tuned shocks and springs. That should lower your car just enough but not too low...

GS408, thanks a lot. That helps. Now cross your fingers for me and hope that I can convince this guy to change out my wheels. I think there is a policy that once the wheels are installed you can't return them. Hopefully since I'm "exchanging" them they'll help me out. Ugh, what a nightmare. Shoulda checked with you guys WAY before this whole thing happened.
