Default Good Deal or Crap?

I'm showing my ignorance, but I'd like opinions on the quality of these wheels:

Wheel Packages

Thanks...

Well, what size should I be looking for? I'd like to get something soon, but without having to modify the car itself. Will 15-16's fit as-is?
Again, thanks,
preston

Wheels from 13-17" wheels will fit your car, just make sure you get the correct offset and widths.

I suggest TireRack.com or Tires.com as they help you pick from wheels that will fit your car.

The only modifications you'd need is probably lowering springs (which is all preference, not a neccessity). With bigger sized wheels, your car will appear 'higher'.

I think 18sec used to have those rims. :chuckles:

They're super cheap and I'm sure super heavy. I think they look like crap and I'd never buy them... why waste your money on crap? Save up and get something worth while.

Hey - Thanks. When you say 'super heavy', do you mean in terms of racing? I'm looking (right now) for just some good-looking wheels to replace the stock 13's. I wont be racing, but I don't want to get something that will fall apart or ruin my brakes or something.

Anything will look better than what I have now, even the ones that I linked to. Any suggestions on an affordable choice for me? I'm thinking 16's. Also, if I get some 16's, will they fit (without more modification)?
