Alright, thanks for the information. New Volks are going to run me around 2 g's, and I live in Canada so shipping is pricey, I'll keep looking, thanks.

how about some original JDM rims that look like volks, and will cost you about $600 for a set of 4.
Try MB motoring "weapons" from discount tire direct.
they are real JDM wheels and lightweight, you just have to get the JDM caps to "switch em back".

Just get a decent set of rims that don't cost an extra 2gs because they say volk.

How is a blitz ricey? How is it not?
Every redneck and there inbread cousin has that kit and it looks like garbage. If you're going to ruin the look of a 2gb eclipse, then atleast look further then the blitz body kit. Every single kit besides the blitz kit, looks better than the blitz. And if your going to get the blitz no matter what, make sure it's urethane.
