No...because they won't fit. The bolt pattern is wrong...you need 4x114, not 4x100. It even says in the auction description that they won't fit your car.

The wheels aren't horrible, just make sure you get some that actually fit your car.

it will look good if ur car is red, white, black, or blue. w/ tan it wont look bad but with anything else i think u should look into other colors apart from black, but thats imo

Personally I'm not a big fan of all black wheels because they just look like 4 spare tires to me. :dunno: But it's all personal taste. If you are worried about the looks, you can't go wrong with silver...it won't really ever go out of style as long as the design is clean.

If you are going to repaint...I also kinda like bronze on white cars.

Personally you can't go wrong with a site like the TireRack to see a preview of the rims on the car, but in all honesty call them to find out about things like offset and such...

I purchased my RacingHart's from a shop in Dayton OH, called the Wheel Source over the phone. I knew about what size and style of rim I wanted and they really hooked me up with offset and tire recommendations, top notch place if you are into tuner style rims IMO.

For something like your first set of rims an experienced shop is a must, IMO.

The rim tire package is the only thing keeping you on the road, it's a critical safety area not just pure bling...

appreciate for all the helps.
even though i can't stand no longer for the 14" wheel cover but i won't rush to buy.
i will do some more search and come back, hopefully can get the right thing with right price.
