I'm meeting up to go look at these right now, he has them on a lowered SC400 and said he could do $750 for them. I also found a set of new 245/35/20 tires for only $250.

What do you think? These better then the other Niche's?

Leave your stock wheels on there with a drop, and get the wheels you really like when you have the money.

Ya saving to get some nice staggered wheels would be the best way to go, but I'm hella impatient to have to wait a little over a year to afford them. I really want to get something now.

I just got done looking at the above wheels and they were super clean looking. I really liked them. Only downside is that I need to get some tires. I'm on the look out for tires now.

I think the wheels in the first post look the best. You're better off waiting and getting the wheels you really want because if you get the other you're going to keep wishing you had bought the first ones. It's better to get the ones you want the first time instead of settling for other ones and then end up buying the ones you wanted in the first place later on. Then you'll end up spending more money anyways.

dude, seriously pay check to pay check and your gonna drop it all on rims... yeah i used to do that to. it took me a year to save up for my 6k lowenharts... lots of cambles soup for dinner and ham & cheese sandwhiches for lunch for the better part of a year then i could afford nice rims, which led to nice girls, which led to marriage, which leads to no more expensive upgrades for my car.... hmmm...

the first rims look much better in my opinion but your the one who has to look at em every day. just remember that often in life you get what you pay for... but if i didn't have my rims now i would def. get those first ones, cuz they look much more subtle yet vip...

niche are kinda a cheap knock off rim company that are a dime a dozen.

LOL cambles soup... thats ballin. I'm Ramen Noodle all the way

Honestly thats cool though that you went through the same thing. I would spend my $600 refund on something else, but I've allready got everything else I need in life... fully stocked bar in my newly purchesed freshly renovated home, 192" Electric Projector Screen for 1080p with a Harmon Kardon/ Bang & Olufsen hometheater system, Custom PC with 3840x1080 desktop space and clean white Nike's. I can't think of anything else to spend my money on. I just need to get a roommate to live in my house to help pay the mortgage, when that happens I'll have money again

I can get these Lowenhart LD5's for $1200... which is a great deal, but thats still outta my range...
