I agree 100% with Lextrician and Chez80 on getting them used.

WOW....... I'm definitely at entry level. $2k rims and tires is about as far as im going to spend and have done so many many times because i like what i like and don't need to be the first on the block with the newest of the new but if some of you ballers wanna hook a brutha up.... and as far as the JDM thing thats a whole nother category. Hey if you got it and don't mind blowing it go for it but for us lil guys trying to look big it just aint happening.

For me, I guess I'm more of a purist in this sense, that when it comes to Japanese cars, I tend to only shop for Japanese parts/wheels, with the exclusion to some European brands because we have a 5x120 bolt pattern now. I guess you have to "pay to play", but on that same note, "it's all about who you know".
"'Who you know" will save you a few grand easily!!!

hmm, i think 20's are too small for this chassis -- it should've come from the factory with 20s
