Tempe have them on special atm $1200 for 18x7.5 package

They look nice, but from tempe, it took me a month to even get a straight forward answer that they didnt have any of my rims in stock. I promptly told them to forget it as it took WWAAYY too long and from what ive heard from sevrel other people, its taken them just as long to get their tyres aswel.

mmm no thanks.

If you want to get some rims for your bug eye, save some more money and buy some decent Jap rims, rather than China rubbish.

agreed also keep an eye on the forums here cause alot of people sell there rims and shit. You could get something alot better .

Please don't! Ray's, Works or other Jap spec or just powdercoat yours if money is really the issue.

much better option

Ya don't see falcodores with Racing style Volks, Works, Prodrive, Buddy Club, 5 Zigen etc rims, and for good reason. Big luxobarge cars look stupid with Japanese racing rims.. Similar to what a Jap sports car looks like when wearing rims designed for the luxo's..

If you are going to get cheap rims, at least get some jap copies over those ones...

I don't like them, but it depends on what "style" you want your car to portray, racing or cruiser....

They'll be great for
A/ Less power
B/ Slower acceleration
C/ Worse fuel economy
D/ Snapping axles
Hey.............go for it!!!
