There are alot of things to consider when thinking of buying rims. I purchased my rims after analyzing everything beforehand, such as where my car will be during the day, and at night. I was able to get the garage at night since my dad has a Mini Cooper there was enough space on the other side I have 18" Racing Hart C2 Evo's and I love them. You can get them for 1499 with tires now shipped. They are a great wheel and really make the car looks great. Make sure you lower the car though if you plan on purchasing a wheel like this one with a lip. It just doesn't look right without being lowered. Like others have said, you dont have to spend all 1700 dollars. If I were you, I'd spend that money on a nice set of CL-S wheels (17") and some lower springs/shocks. That'll probably run you close to 1700 but you'll get the full package. I'm really feeling that look too, but its all up to you.
