Exactly. Thanks for all the replies, and those rims would look real good, but i just can't afford it right now. Just looking for the cheap alternative because i saw it and it looked like not a bad idea.

bolt pattern 5 x 4.5"

Offest and backspace will depend on wheel width.

if your buying a 8" wide rim ~ 45MM off set and 5.5" BS
