    Cheap wheel choices

    I'm looking for some new wheels for cheap. Can't afford to do both new suspension & wheel/tires right now.

    There are two that I'm looking at both real cheap that I'm thinking might work:

    1. TSW Imola - 17x8, 4x100 +?? with 3 functional tires for $200


    2. Primax 15x6.5, 4x114.3 (can I use adapters to run these?) no tires but only $40 for all four!


    Or should I just pass on both and keep running my bottlecaps? :)

        Definitely the top ones if you HAVE to get wheels. Otherwise, keep the b-caps and get the suspension. You'll be alot happier if you get the suspension first.

        Also, you are a cock with tacky taste.

        That is all.

                Damn, I guess consensus is pretty much to still run my caps then. I'm getting the suspension done that's a given but dropped on caps sucks. Fine, I guess it's RS or bust!

                  paint the caps for a new look if thats what you want, but suspension will make it feel like a new car!

                    The bottom wheels are uglier than hammered shit on an E30. I had a similar looking set on mine when I got it (american racing AR50's), and considered the stock bottlecaps to be an upgrade.
