        Are the wheels going on your car?

        I don't like them, but if does, who cares?

            There going on my friend's car, not mine. He loves the rims that are black spokes with sliver polished lip. I dont have rims yet, but dont know much about how they fit and everything. How many spacers would we need?

              Classic.

              Anyways, you need at least 15mm spacers, but 20mm ones would look even better. Only buy high quality ones like H&R hubcentric. Here's a link to the 20mm ones, they're only $4 more per pair, so go for 'em: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html...CT_ID=40234571 Remember that's the price for a pair, so you're looking at $200 for spacers and $40 for longer bolts (Turner sells those too). Remember to tell your friend that before he gets hyped over the wheels, they're adding 50% to the cost.

                  You might want to find out what the centerbore is. Even if you get hubcentric spacers, if the wheels have the wrong centerbore it won't sit properly on the hub.

                    Aluminum rings from Tirerack will fix that.
