So i badly need new rims and wheels, mine are shot (both the stock rims and tires) getting these MSR with some 215/45/17 Nexen N3000 tires both the wheels and tires brand new mounted and balance with new lug nuts for $700. What do you guys think, will it look good? BTW im getting the black one.

I don't really like the black with the chrome lip, but the silver ones are nice. That's an ok price I would shop around some more and maybe try to get at least some kumho's.
 
They look alright, but then again, i've always been a fan of 5-spoke style rims. I would personally get a set of 5zigen fn01rc, i think they look really nice, and i would combine them with a 225/45/17 tire.
 
^^Agreed. Defiitely at least go with a 225 width.
 
Evo wheels look so good on 1st and 2nd gen dsm's. And tire rack.com is a pleasure to do buisiness with for tires. you could get that combo for maybe $700 or less

Good point I would take Evo VIII ,IX wheels even Rx7 wheels over those in a heartbeat. A lot of times they are sold with decent tires already so you'd be set.
 
Nice looking, they look like bbs knockoffs. Wheres the centercaps?
 
When it comes to wheels its allways about preference. I personaly like 5-7 spoke in silver, polished or chrome. Those are not my kind of rims. BUT to each his own like I said who cares what everyone else thinks if you like it then get it. But if you were looking for light weight wheels then I can see asking what everyone thinks. Also recomend the 225 series tire you will regret the 215 when you hit a pot hole puls the 225 is comparable to you stock tire height.
 
If you plan on doing a big brake kit in the future you may want to get some 17's. Don't get them if you don't like them you will regret it later. You might be able to find a used set of wheels you like better cheaper. Or even a used set of stockers. I hear you can get a set of used evo wheels for about that price.
 
so does that mean my speedometer will be off?
 
They are ok. Im not a fan of the shine but they arent bad. I would recommend a little bigger tire though. I have 215/60/16's on mine and i love how they fill the wheel well. Just an opinion.
 
Like I said in a verry similar post just 5 minutes ago it all about preferance. TO EACH HIS OWN. Not my type I like 5-7 spoke in sliver poliched or chrome.
 
im getting some wheels that look like the silver ones for 300 for my 1g awd...but i like those black ones to and i agree with the evo wheels i want a set sooooo bad
