Thinking of these new rims!

Whats up guys so i have a 04 OB Coupe with OEM 18's and i wanted to get your opinion on these wheels.


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Ni...Q5fAccessories

Brand: DZ Wheels
Model: Sparkle
Wheel Size: 18x8 & 18x9
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
Wheel Offset: +35
Wheel Finish: Matte Black with Red Ring

Does anyone have these wheels? Anyone know how they look on a G? Anyone know how good the fitment is, any problems?

thanks everyone !

i like the style - however i have never heard of the actual brand - and with those offsets you will probably need spacers for them to look good...

They look horrible IMO. 18" and terrible offsets will be a major disappointment if you buy them... And $400 for a set of new wheels on ebay... You get what you pay for.

You should go on the marketplace, pick up a set of OEM 19's with tires for around $650 and at the end of the day you'll have a nice set of forged wheels with tires that look great and will hold up for you. You'd be spending more on those **** wheels and then buying tires then you will on OEM 19's with tires in the marketplace.

they suck, certainly for a coupe so keeping looking. hell get rotas if you can't afford top-shelf wheels, at least they look good and come in good offsets for the coupe.

if you are really set on getting wheels at a really low price i suggest this tip

go into craigslist and find your respective area and do a general search for 5x114.3 and look at the wheels that are 18s, 19s and 20s

there are always some hidden gems in craigslist, just need to filter out the rice

I am looking at Volk Racing SF Winnings, 18x8 +35 front and 18x9 +36 rear, for my sedan through a vendor on this site. My sedan is lowered with Tein S-Techs.

Sedan's and Coupes run different offsets so that is of little help to the OP - and what is the purpose of this post?!
