Is your car lowered or still at stock height. If you're still at stock height I'd say put the money towards lowering your car before you buy wheels. Lowering your car makes the biggest difference in looks.

IMO they're a bit much with the two piece look (allen screws on the outside edge)... I personally like lesser spokes and smooth look. They just look to busy... but thats my taste on wheels.

yeah im not a multispoke guy really but these were the only black 16's they had, and yeah lowering will happen first. any suggestions where else to get cheap wheels? other than ebay? i am unsure about ebay's dependablility.
what about these? i like these but i dont know how they will look on my car.

I lowered my car first and I'm glad. Now when I get my money saved up and grab some 17" 5 spokes, I'll be all set. :D

These are what I'm thinking about getting... Sport Max 925

Chillaxed04bluSXT - Those look much better. But get them in 5x100 lug ;-) And they look to close in actual design to my SSRs lol

03sxt - Those look alright but not a lot of depth to the wheel.

Hm. Good point. :) Off to look for more. I like the slimmer 5 star wheels. Trying to find nice, affordable ones. :D

Those are the kind of wheels that only look good in 18" or bigger. They're much too 'bling.'

Those Sport Max 925's in 16" are $416 + shipping. Without tires. I'm planning on getting the 17" though. ($476)

Edit: Ooooooh. I just saw these in 17" as well... Same price... Deeper dish. I likey.
