I want to by one of these but I can't make up my mind.Maybe you guys can give me your suggestions and I will go from there.Great thing about Wheels Next is that they are offering free shipping, FREE SPRINGS, and free wheel repair.Check these out and let me know what you think.http://www.wheelsnext.com/product.phtml ... ml?p=1278I have an 03 Shadow Vibe so I think the Gun Metal Rims will be a great addon. Thanks Guys. I want to buy these ASAP. Cuz If I don't I will waste my tax returns

The SYOUWA look nice to me...that price may include shipping,springs and spacers , but geeez your lookn at some big bucks in wheels there.How much do the weigh? Makes a perfomance difference in acceleration/stopping.

I would go with the first one.

I'm going to go with #3. #1 would be my second choice.

Why big Bucks? Isn't it $699 for the set? Am I mistaken. Cuz if I am, I am not paying that much for those.

I'm also leaning towards the first one. Though I also like the silver lining of number 2. What to do? What to do?

I like #1. #2 would be my second choice. Don't care much for the 3rd wheels.

Well, I just got off the phone with them and the first set is not gonna be available for two weeks. The second ones are also out of stock.The other thing is that he mentioned that it would not cost what the site says becuase the tires will not fit my car I have to get the proper tires.Then on top of that they have to be balanced and stuff. So total price is some somewhere in the $1100 range, that's way out of my budget. THIS SUCKS!!!I guess I'll keep looking.Does anyone have nay online retailers they like with good prices?

What do you guys think of these?http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/exel.htmThey look good. Unfortunately the Daytona which is the one I like is not available. Man!!! All these online retailers need to get on the ball when it comes to updating their stock on their site.

I bought mine from tirerack.com. They do carry some expensive stuff, but their in store brand Kazera is inexpensive (~$125-150 each), most are light weight, and have some nice styles. Any way you look at it, to get a good quality set of wheels and tires, you are probably going to be paying at least $900+. The tires I purchased are the Kumho Ecsta ASX high performance all season tires and they were $100 each and they have been great for the past 12k+ miles. A lot of people have had good luck with buying from tires.com also. They have some nice wheels and tire sets at great prices. Keep in mind that often you get what you pay for, and with wheels, I've seen some cars that have the cheaper no name wheels and the finish does not last. One site I would avoid is wheelmax.com. I thought about buying from them, but changed my mind after dealing with them on the phone (very unprofessional, lied, and not knowledgable) and then reading that many people had bad experiences with them. Those are just some of my suggestions. Later,

LOL, you found that site already. You see how it says "Sale ends soon!"? It never ends lol, they are always on sale. I came very close to buying from them, but am very glad I did not. Check out this link: http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...82519

I just got off the phone with a guy from wheelmax (Tony) he was quite friendly and knowledgeable. It might be a case by case basis I guess. But I don't know man.This is a very important decision and I don't want ot make the wrong choice.

Yeah I like those a lot as well. I might just wait the two weeks just to get my hands on those.

got mine from http://www.wheelguys.comgood place IMHO

I was looking at them earlier. They where actually one of the first I looked at. How was your experience with them?Which rims did you get and how much for the package?

I'd suggest number 2 and a close runner up number 2. Number three won't suit your car to well IMHO.

How bout these in Gun Metal.I spoke to a guys anmed Makr there and the total price is 750 with mounting, balancing and lug nuts.http://www.wheelguys.com/shop/...&path=They don't have a pic of the gun meatal but it looks like number two from my original post. It has the chrome lip and gun metal legs.

http://www.whalentire.com/whee...ze=17there's my choice though i'm a poor broke fool that wont end up with wheels the price is right on these though
