I was wondering what your thoughts are on these rims. $600 tires included. I really want some tires and rims looking for 16-17'' any cheap sites or places to get some?

They look OK i guess, needs a smaller spoke, and more bronze in the color.

I added your pic for ya.......some people won't click the link.

I like those wheels pretty well. 17's would be nice. I agree with the others on the spokes though....maybe something with a little thinner spokes would be better.

But definately buy the rims that YOU like.....that's what matters.

If the bronze really was closer to gunmetal than bronze I'd say those wheels are quite sweet. I'm not a big fan of the slim spokes or bronzed wheels. What I would like to see is a picture of those wheels on a car... not one that has been photocropped either but a real picture.

What color vehicle will the wheels be going on? I, personally, don't like them.

I don't think they look bad, depending on what color your Neon is they may actually look pretty good. They aren't over the top and look very sleek.

Performance wise I dunno since I dunno the weight of them.

They are going on a Cinnamon colored 01 Neon, so the color would match perfectly. I recently called them up and was going to order them, but to my dismay they were gonna charge me an extra $100 for the lug nuts and the balancing and a few other things. So it would all come to a grand total of $700 (free shipping) Do you guys think thats a god deal or what? Any reccomendations?(Konig tires included)

I think the wheels look great. They are a true bronze color; not some gold-ish color like most companies advertise as bronze. However, I've heard of several people having issues with WheelsNext before. As a matter of fact, I believe JuicyJay had an issue with them.

Damnit, I need some rims so bad. I just got done paying my car insurance and I get paid tomorrow, So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on good rim and tire packages for a reasonable price. I am sick of having these stock 14'' pieces of shit. I took off the shitty wheel covers so it looks a little bit better. So far wheelsnext.com has some really good deals. Any other good sites or places?
