Feedback on OE wheel distributors?

Currently I hate my rims...I have the Helo HE834 in black/chrome 18/10 and 18/8...


I really want to replace them with these
NEW WHEELS


whats everyone's opinion on the "new" wheels?? Have you ever had an expierence with the company who sells these wheels???



also there is an option to have them gunmetal. you can see it HERE



Here's a quick photoshop of what it could look like on my car...



Note, that currently I need wheel spacers if I keep the rims I have now so this would be saving money because then I could sell my rims, BRAND NEW, never been driven on. The wheel company screwed up my current rims and owes me a set, and they are sitting at the shop right now waiting for me to trade the bunk ones for the new ones. So i need to buy new rims before then!!


edit: HAPPY NOW THERES PICS!!!

i don't balme you for wanting to change your current rims. the ones you are looking into will give your car a much better look. what is your price range anyway, you may have other options.

Why not just go back to stock? You can just paint your stock rims and get the same look.

My stockers were the 17" that come on the base model 03's so that's not really an option anymore because I've bought new tires already.

My price range is up to $700, I know that's not a lot, but im waiting on something I REALLY like, also im trying to spend the "big money" on mods like a big brake kit or FI.

haha I know man, they looked SOO good and the wheels shop said "yeah those come with black rivets too if you wanted them" so I went with those, unfortunately they blow fat ****... and 19s wont do because on the tire situation


any options I haven't thought of? opinions on the company that makes these rims or others I can afford?


1. what about THESE rims??? I like these... are they the correct offset???

2. what about
These??
I like these a lot due to the 3 inch monster lips on them


3. THESE??



whats the stock offset? ADR a good rim?

All the wheels you posted have Sedan offsets. You need 17-25 offsets for Coupes.

The last ADR's have +20mm and +25mm rear and are 18x8.5 18x&9.5...so would these sit flush with mine fenders? or am I still going to need a +25mm spacer like i need now LOL
