Is this a good price for wheels?

Are this Evo's with the tire package a good deal, and also are the tires a good size or should I only get the wheels and get the tires later.

They're nice and well priced, but these rims are soooo over played.

Yeah. What he said. But then again stock wheels are even more played out. Every stock G comes with them.

my advice: "Buy It Now" if you have the cash, those wheels are hot. However, I wouldn't do his "package" because if you buy the tires where you get them mounted they will probably cut you a deeper discount and you get to pick your own tires.

You know, I used to think that about certain models of Volks etc. until someone pointed out to me that they are only overplayed on these boards. Out in the real world 98% are still stock and so even the most common aftermarket rims on here look smokin to the General Public.
Given that I will rarely be parked beside anyone from these boards........

I like those I think they look sharp but probably a b1tch to clean. What color is your G? cos they come in a hypersilver and a hyperdark finish.

Good point, I agree completley. When I put the stillen aero kit on my last car everyone on the boards said how over played. In the 3 years I had my car I only saw one other car with the same kit (not including car meets).

i actually live in south florida where you would think you would see plenty of Volked out G's. well, ive never even seen one G with Volks around town in Fort Lauderdale. as a matter of fact ive only seen maybe 10 or so G's with aftermarket wheels.

I do however see quit a few 350's with aftermarker wheels

Dude, are you blind?

The auction clearly states that it's a 5x120 bolt pattern which WILL NOT FIT your car. You must find wheels with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

Oh, and if you decide to go staggered on the Evo's, you are in for a ride. You will need to roll/shave your fenders, and run a lot of negative camber for the rear wheels to fit.

U make some good points, but he could always melt them down and start fresh.

Whoa, ease up. Speed Depot is always on there with these rims and they do come in 5x114. Several guys here have em.

I know, I'm one of them- just making sure he doesn't buy a wheel with a BMW offset.
