Which Wheels should I get? I'm looking for good fitment.

Should I go with XXR 531: 19x10 +15 all around or 19x10 rear/19x8.5 +15 front?

or XXR 530: 19x10.75 +15 rear/19x8.75 +15 front?

I know they're cheap wheels but I'm a highschool student on a budget. I'm looking for what is going to look best and fit good.

Dont sacrifice your safety for crappy wheels. Get OEM 19s.

If you absolutely have to, get the XXR 530. It won't fit flush, but that's all you got.

Potholes are not freak accidents. And it doesnt happen with OEM 19s. They look better than the crappy XXRs and 100 times safer.

But you are young and already know it all, so you will do whatever you want anyways. Rice on my brother, rice on.

Harsh, no! Fraserh will do what ever he wants even if it's a bad idea, that's how kids are. All he wants to hear from us is "Which Ones!" Suggesting '06 coupe 19" wheels was a great idea. With spacers those wheels would look like he wants. Maybe he needs a freak accident to wake him up?

Just keep an eye out for the "freak accidents" and your ebay XXRs will be fine.

Cheap wheels are cheap for a reason. Do you really want to compromise your safety by rocking those? IMHO you need to re-think your position and not try to be so cool.

I'm 18. I'm young, but you're speaking to me as if I'm a child. I appreciate you all being worried about my car being riced out and my safety, but I just wanted to know for fitment.

XXR offsets aren't that great either. Just get spacers.

18 is still a child. Trust me though, when I was your age I had the same mindset as you so cant really fault you.

OEM 19s are much safer, stronger and look better than ebay crap wheels. Powdercoat and spacers will look better than any set of XXRs ever could. Years down the road when you mature, you will thank us for not letting you rice out your first car. I wish I had someone to slap my hand away from the ebay buy it now button when I was your age.
