There are a few things that SC owners have learned the hardway over the years:
1) Knock offs cost more in the end
2) Knock off knock off wheels (lets face it- hp evo is a knock off and this is a knock off of a knock off) just dont belong on a car with as much prestige and history.

I tend to disagree.
While I agree somewhat that the car has a certain pedigree and panache, we must be realists and admit that the book value of the majority of our SC's are under 10k! Me, I can't justify spending 2k let alone 5k on my 6k book value car. I dont feel that $79.00 Pep Boys rims should be used. All bling and what not, but ultimately it is up to the car owner to decide.
I happened to see the RPM rims fillup was mentioning and they are nice looking rims, and to be honest, I would seriously consider buying/using them.
I have absolutely no problem with the guys that do spend thousands on their rims. They all look great! But, my car will never be a show car. That's not a direction I choose to go with this car. Nor will it ever be making monster HP. It will continue to be my daily driver, and maybe 2 years down the road it will become a second car. But enhancing the look of a vehicle that is being used as daily transportation (as most of us do here), by using cost effective wheels, should be commended, not chastised.

Well put. It's kinda like wearing the same shirt, except one has no brand, and ones a name brand. It's personal preference

BTW, the wheels you should buy are the ones YOU think look good for the price YOU can afford.
Good luck.
