Default Debating on these rims...

For a while now I've been contemplating getting a nice set of rims for the track and occasionally cruise around town on.
I don't want to spend too much, maybe $300 for the two rears. I was looking for a 15x8.
So far I found these from Summit.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-531-5866PS/
What do you guys think? If you know of anyone selling a used pair that are somewhat similar let me know.

Make sure you get matching skinnies for the front though. Go for it.

I won't be able to get them right away, but eventually I will.

I figure if I'm at the track it doesn't really matter how they look. Around town yeah, I would probably wait.
Maybe I'll sit on the idea until I do have the money for all 4

Yea, i'd do that cus i dont think the price is going up any for them. Dont forget...once you buy them...gotta wrap 'em in rubber too but you'll probably be going with et streets or something since you have the 31 splines in there.

If you just had your rearend built, get slicks. Then when money allows get the skinnies.
