So, stick to the point what ever you are referring to is erronious. Grow up, read my 700 plus post and let me how many of th were complaints. The car does have many dash rattles and lacks handling of german counterparts. It is however a nice car aside from those things. Don't cry EK everything will be alright

I may just keep the stock ones and run some H&R spacers.
I think the stock wheels still look really nice compared to other manufactures. Spacers and a drop will make your car stand out a little bit more and give you a more aggressive stance.
Work wheels do take a while to deliver but, they are well worth it! However, if you plan on selling your car within a year, I say buy spacers and springs/coils and save that money you would have spent on wheels to buy a better car or use it towards your down payment-then mod the $#%@ out of the new ride

I have seen some of those that look alright. I really don't know what I am going to do. I am either going to sell my stock wheels and tires and get the Works or just keep the stocks and cancel the order.
To tell you the truth if I could sell my stock tires and my 19 inch Michelins I would just keep my stock wheels and replace the tires with some PS2s and be happy. But if I can't sell the stock tires and Michelins then I will sell my stock tires/wheels as a package and use the Michelins I have on my new Works.
I am just trying to save money right now because I lost my job and I am going to owe money to the IRS this year to pay for the war we shouldn't be involved in.

If you want to ***** about the IRS, go ahead, but take a look at some of our ridiculous domestic spending before you blame the war for all of our troubles.

I am not blaming it for all of them, just some of them. You are right there is ridiculous waste everywhere you turn. Such as having our military in 108 countries around the world, and you ask why there is terrorism. Because we are policing the world at the expense of the taxpayers.
But this is not a political forum so lets just talk about cars.

When it comes to cars I sometimes am like a woman in a diamond store and I can't make up my mind.
