Need Opinion

Well this girl is selling a set of 4 17" Volution Wheels with Toyo FZ451's and they are 5 lug and fit 215/45/17 and they fit 5x100, 5x114 and 5x114.5.


1. So would they fit?
2. Would they look good on my spyder?


Wheels:






Any thoughts?

not a fan of black with chrome lip, but they would look better than the stockers.

yes and you can always get them powdercoated / painted as well. . .Discount tire is a great place, thats where i got my stuff, plus free shipping is great they'll come mounted and balanced for free as well.

Ok so a friend offered me these and I think I am going to take them because I like this pair.

17" adr battle exe's with yokohama advans 235/45/17 2 of the 4 tires need replaced but Im going with kumho for the other 2 for the back.




I just pulled that off the web but that is what they look like and only for $350 which is a good deal for my summer wheels and use the ones I have now for winter wheels.

So opinions please

both look tacky IMO, not a fan of shinny black and lip without the actual lip (aka there not deep enough). try RB Wheels Webstore, Presented by RB Motoring used wheels for a good price, dunno if there in your price catagory. the ones i want are 1200$ used and new 3000$ so its a good site.

Both of the wheels you posted look pretty damn cheap, and tacky - mainly because they're cheap.

215/45 tires will look goofy as hell anyways because they're too small of a tire for 2g's.

Not a big fan of black with polished/chrome lips. Not shitting on what you have right now, but around here, they're getting played out like civic/integras. but yea, i say you pass on both. but if you want, i think the first one is nicer than the second one you posted.
