A friend of mine offered these rims for hella cheap to me since he wanted to get rid of them. I think they look pretty nice (18") but I'd figured I'd see other people's opinions.

I was thinking about dipping them in black, but keeping the very edge of the outer lip silver. Plus, I really do not like the size of these stock rims. They literally have half a cm between the edge of the rim and my front caliper.

The wheels you have stock are generally considered the uglier wheels to have stock i think any way. Those wheels would make a great upgrade

True. That and these newer rims are so much lighter, and of course, give up some space and will show off my new cross-drilled and slotted rotors coming in, and my red calipers.

Then it's settled then. I'll get them next week.

I'll wait a few more paychecks before I get the tires though. Smack dab about ~110$ a piece if I don't look at the right places. If anything, I really want Bridgestone tires.
