ohhh ok..sorry i misread that.

How big is the wheel your looking at and is there a pic of the wheel itself in any color?

I'm not a big fan of anything remotely chrome either way but if it is chrome the smaller the better..big and chrome equal :barf:

i'm planning to just go with the stock sizes..the car is an everyday driver for me and i have a wife and baby my friend who works at a wheel shop told me that if you go bigger usually you sacrifice ride comfort and the noise of the wheels running on the freeway will be a lot louder...i'm in the process of trying to find out if the wheels are heavier than stock because i don't want to sacrifice my MPG either yeah i hate chrome rims too which is why i'm trying to find out if anyone has seen black chrome because from the pic it doesn't look like it has that crap mirror finish that chrome has..i'm a fan of the enkei evo 5's but unfortunately they are on back order till February of next year these are the next best wheels that sort of look like them that the shop can get by next week. they have basically thicker spokes than the other wheel i posted

here they are in black:

If I had to choose between these and the Enkeis, I'd wait until Feb. for the Enkeis.
Better quality and better color.

yeah..wait for the enkeis..don't just get wheels to get them.

I plan on buying some works sometime after x-mas and i may have to wait 6-8 weeks to get them because 5x100 in the color i want is apparently special order..but man the wait will be worth it!

So just save your money and get the enkei's...and if you save up enough get some really nice tires to go with em!
