Good Deal?? Need Help and Opinions
 
Okay So I'm going for the whole "blacked out" look on my car and I came across these rims:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MSR-0...Q5fAccessories

Is there a reason that these are so cheap? They look nice to me, so I would go for it but i dont know if they would fit my stock tires that are 235/50/18. Opinions and suggestions would be great! Thank you!

I'd be weary of buying cheap wheels on eBay, also those are only 8 inches wide so you would be limited to a 235-245 tire width. Also if you have the base V6 wheels you have 235/55/16's (not positive about height, either 55 or 60) not 18's, even if it is the pony package bullits those are only 17s.

Am I reading that wrong or is that for ONE wheel???

245's are the widest tire recommended by most tire manufacturers for that wheel.

EDIT: Yep, I read it wrong... Auction IS for 4.

I'm not crazy about the mult-bolt hole pattern. IMO, it weakens the wheel.

I think that price is for 1.....?

Nuke 06-26-2011 01:19 PM

Curious, though... "blacked out look" on an all white Stang. Does that even work?

whitethunder09 06-26-2011 01:36 PM

Yes, the auction is for 4 wheels.
Redfire- On the side of my wheels it says that it is 235/50/ZR 18.

Nuke- Lol I meant I'm going to make everything else black.

I say no. Dont like that red trim at all. Try tirerack.com I found my wheels there for a great price. Lots of black options.

It looks to me like the price is for just one wheel.

It's for a complete set of 4...that's what it says anyway.
Yep, they will fit and at 35mm be pushed out a little more than stock. No biggie there.
Don't like the universal hub and I have never heard of the wheel co.
Like the idea with the color though...do ya thing!

oh, and some people call it ebay...I call it epray!!!!
