Due to recently getting married and buying a house and having someone else with a say in my finances...I was on a budget. Coupled with the fact I have a coupe with Brembos, my options were limited.
I am still unsettled on the result, I think a machined dish would have looked nicer, and I think black might be too dark on a DG coupe.
My wife thinks the stock rims look nicer (7 spoke 18s), I think they might too lol
.
Let me know what you guys think


Behind the car is the house we recently got

They are MSR 045s, I know they arent the best quality rims out there...But they are a good bang for buck rim

I spent a 600 on the rims (new - on clearance though) plus I had to get 2 tires. The only other new rims in my budget (max 1 G WITH tires) was an RTX ser with a modest lip.
With an 04 coupe with brembos finding cheaper rims with at most 35 offset is near impossible. Without brembos, its a completely different story! Even on Kijiji...I looked into spacers but i dont think i wanna run 20 mm spacers, especially when they say "make sure to tighten you lugs nuts again every so often" lol.
If this was 2 years ago before getting married and buying a house, I would be dumping tons of money into my depreciable asset
Do you guys think its an improvement from stock?
