There cheap as in like brand new my cost is 80 a rim the brand is Sport Edition and there on Tire Rack. There 17" and I wasnt sure what thats gonna look like when I lower it... These would be left on all year and eventually I might get some nicer 18's but wanted peoples opinions on these. Here is a picture w/ them installed and I used paint to lower it a little. I know that I can't really count on Tire Rack to show what the size will really look like so thats why I am here for peoples opinions.

No thats just the crappy job that Tire Rack does haha. Here's a pic of rim only

I bet that Audi center caps would fit it too haha.
I can also get these in the same size for 60 a rim

Now I am starting to think the 2nd set just because I can paint them to look exactly the same or any other way I could possibly want and there 20 bux less! I could just about get a full set slightly used tires and the rims and I have Vogtland springs on the way. Thing is right now I need a new bumper and I need to paint my door and the new bumper... I'll do it myself but paints not as cheap as I'd like it to be. Are the links working? I linked to someone and they said no but there in the UK

No I don't need them my stock 16's are alright for now. I do have to fill my tires w/ air like every week even though I resealed the bad one once and it still goes flat. I just think that w/ the springs im getting a new set of rims would be sweet. Are 17's too small though? I do prefer 18's but I think I would be happy w/ 17's anyways. This would honestly be the first set of rims I have ever bought for a car.
