New wheels on my car?

[Flash]

A friend at a wheel store should be hooking me up with some good prices on new wheels. So with the good prices I thought I'd upgrade a little and get better wheels. And I have a list of wheels that I like, and I need to make up my mind. I was wondering if anyone can PS or post some pics of 2g DSM's with the wheels I list?
Wheels I like:
Buddy Club P-1 Racing II -gunmetal

Also, I'd like any comments or thoughts as picking out wheels is a big deal!
Thanks!

this is a lil off topic n a noobish question, but wats the bolt ratio on the rims...5X100???

 

[Phya]

What's wrong with the Konig Verdicts

I am offended.

5 spokes are just too open IMO. Go with those buddy club wheels. They look hot.

Ummm, dude? What's wrong with the wheels already on the car?

 

[WhiteCloud]

I seriously like the Verdicts you have on the car better than any of the others...except maybe the Formula 5s.

Well, I bought the wheels last year. And I just want new wheels. My friend hooked me up with the wholesale guy at this wheel store. That guy got my friend 50% off all the wheels he's bought from him. So if I can get that kind of deal on lighter wheels that I don't see at Pep Boys then I'm taking it. If I wasn't getting an offer like this, then I wouldn't be getting new wheels.
I'm leaning towards the Buddy Club wheels. I've never seen them on any car around here at every local car show I've been too, so they'd be different.

What size and how much would you want for your old ones?

 

[Flash]

I'll probably trade them to the store.
BTW, they are 18" I'm not sure how wide. But it has a 225/40/18 tire on it, if it matters.
Advan is out... I couldn't live with gold wheels.

Ok, I'm 99% sure I'll be getting the Buddy Club wheels. NO ONE has them around here, and they look pimp.
So here's my question. Will the wheel that's 18"x8", H/PCD 5x114.3, and 38 offset. Fit my car? Also I want them to fit my tires. I have 225/40/18 tires. Will they fit???
I need a quick answer.
Thanks!

If they're both 225/40/18, then it all depends on width.. time for some research

Good choice with the Buddy Clubs too.. I'm a sucker for gunmetal, but I like the silver look of your old rims on your car.

 

[Flash]

I did a search and found the tire's will fit the wheel.
Now is the offset ok?

 

[14.5 drift]

I read the other day between 35 and 40 offsets are cool for 18X8's but you might end up needing spacers with the 35's, correct me if I'm wrong here guys.

Flash - Are you sure a dished wheel is going to fit in your wheelwell? We dont have deep wheelwells like 240SX's and Skylines. I dont know how much of a dish will fit. Do you?

 

[14.5 drift]

Flash, he's right, you might test fit a rim to make sure there is sufficient caliper clearances before you purchase.

 

[1fast97gsx]

I'd probably get the volks ... they have an awesome reputation and look really nice. The buddy clubs look almost like the verdits on there now ( to the average eye ) ....

Here's a pic of the wheel for the Eclipse. Not that much of a dish.

I just want a new look, and gunmetal wheels.

Yeah, with a dish that small, you should be OK.
