if you want nice wheels that are inexpensive, look towards rota.

anyways, the prices on that website were PER wheel.

You can get decent rims for that price. Like someone said, Rota or check:

http://www.tirerack.com

It will show you only rims that will fit on your vehicle.

well my buddy who's a kick *** mechanic and i listen to about cars, said, not go anything bigger than 15" and im even considering just going 14"'s but the options on 14" arent that great.

he's talkin about 16"'s or bigger will give me a harder ride and barely any sidewall on the tire if any, plus then we're talkin performance tires which cost at least $225 and up.

id kill for nice bling, but i also have a kick *** system in my car, soo...dont want to draw too many eyes to it.

14" or 15" would be a good choice. I have 14" steelies for the track (cheap with quite a few tire choices) and 15" for the street (better street performance selection, but a bit pricier). You can get away with a 16" if you want too, but 17" is definitely pushing it.

are you talking 225 per tire? cause if so, i hope those are slicks or something, cause you can definately find great tires for a LOT cheaper than that. if its 225 for all 4, than thats a great deal!
