Default Thinking of getting some wheels....

I want to get some 18" wheels for my sc4. I know most will not like these wheels, but I've been thinking of getting either the sportmax
006 http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_006.shtml

or 962 http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_962.shtml

because they are really cheap for a 18x9.5 wheel w/ decent offset at +35, about $500 a set. If I get these you think I should go 9.5" wide all around or go staggered? I'm thinking big lips all around would be bad!

Before I jump the gun, are there any other wheels in this price range that I should consider? Used or new, doesn't matter to me, just as long as they're around 500.

I don't think you can go wrong either way. They are both nice designs.

Funny I saw the title of this thread and "sportmax" was the first thought in my head.

We can call it the official wheel of SC's.
