    cheap wheel options

    so, im looking for some cheap wheels, and when i say cheap, i mean CHEAP! otherwise i might just paint the stockers black

    whats out there that looks half decent (oem honda, etc.)? yeah yeah i know that pretty much any 4x100 will work, but what could i pickup that'd look decent?

    haha, thanks guys

    fat fives are cool...it'd be nice to find a cheap set of slipstreams or something.

    anyone got pics of a 3rd gen with slips?

    mostly anything by rota is cheap. shit you can find different sets of wheels for 490 shipped to your door step! and by different sets i mean brand spanking new slips,c8's, gt3's so on and so forth.

    Take a look at Rota Circuit 8s. I think those might look good.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: cheap wheel options

    painting your stock steelies is another option. for a cost of 5 bucks i think its worth it until you can afford some rims.
