Stating how much $$$ you'd want to spend would be helpful...What's your budget?

I have these:



Enkei Rs7
18x7.5 ET 45 for $79 per wheel

I know they are not black, but the price is unbeatable. For that kind deal, you can paint them black. Check our website, I may have something in the price range you are looking for.

You'd be lucky to find an even remotely decent set of wheels for $200-$500 a wheel, let alone for a whole set.

I don't care about your financial situation. The tires alone should run you $400 for a decent low end set. Any wheels in your current budget is of much lower quality than the OEM wheels.

Are you sure you need wheels? Are you stockies damaged or soemthing? If your budget doesn't allow for decent wheels, just save until you can afford them. You'll be much happier waiting to get what you want instead of just getting any crappy wheel now just for the sake of having wheels.

Here's what you do on a budget. You go down to Autozone or O'Reilly's or Pep Boys and buy yourself some black spray paint made for painting rims and go home and sand and paint your stock rims, because believe it or not the OEM wheels aren't too terrible to look at. After that, save up for a decent set while you're in school. Many people on here are riding painted stock rims (including myself). People will still look your way and you'll have more money to pay for books and pizza and whatever else college students need to function on a daily basis.

Lets put it this way: I want a rather cheap set of rims and tires and I've priced them at various shops and online stores and for the rims and the cheapest tires I can get my hands on, its still going to run me $1700. And if that isn't good enough for you, you can probably pick up a set of dirt cheap, black rims from pepboys or sears or whatever place you like.

I'm not trying to bust your *****, because believe me I know you want something that looks cool because other people have it and you just don't have the money. I've been there, heck, I am there, but if you go the cheap route you will be sorry that you did. Besides, with the jackals that roam this site, if you post pictures with dirt cheap wheels, they will rag you unmercifully. Now, none of this is sarcastic, because I was 18, in college, with a 94' Dodge Dakota and couldn't find an aftermarket part to save my life, not to mention, didn't have the money to buy it if I did. We can't all be rich kids with mommy and daddy's credit card. So save some money by hitting up Pepboys and pick up a couple of cans of Dupli-color wheel paint.

Thats my 10 cents.

Okay i guess i understand what u mean.
Btw i am already painting my rims once i get my springs on in a few weeks.
Flat black with dark gold calipers to match my gold ground wiring kit im making

I just thought since il need new tires in 6 months or so why dont i just get so cheap decent looking 18s. Its pretty sh!tty that people will actually rag on others that dont have what they have. Honestly its f*ckin rediculous

People on here won't rag you for not having what they have. What they will rag you for is trying to pawn off something cheap as something really expensive (not saying thats what you'd do). I painted my rims gunmetal a few weeks ago, and I think it looks a hundred times better. Gold calipers and black rims could make it look tons better. Especially with some springs on it.

If you think I was 'ragging' on you, you need to wake up. You're trying to buy wheels AND tires on a budget of $500. Your tires ALONE shouldn't cost less than $400 with mounted and balanced. And @ $400, you're at some pretty crappy tires.

You gotta pay to play.

i would buy the enkei's from leo at edge racing then. 79 per wheel = $316 for the set. you can find some el cheapo tires for like $300, but goodluck with them, lol.

you're never going to find some better, cheaper wheels. enkei is a good name. i would get them if i couldn't save for some nice wheels.
