When buing rims I also consider the cleaning and waxing effort.
* Rounded corners are easier than smaller radius (compare to your fingers).
* On these rims, the edge behind the spokes seems to leave a space to the spokes that is hard to reach and will collect dirt.

I have a mailer from COSTCO for VELOX wheels $150 off a set of 4
$150 discount is reflected in the price.
Valid for orders placed May 9, 2011
through June 5, 2011.

While supplies last. 18" - Member Price: $132.49 Great bang for the buck. Watch your offset. Just my opinion

Heres COSTCO link http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...0#BVRRWidgetID
Velox wheels link : https://www.veloxwheel.com/www/

Costco wheels = FAIL

If you're going to buy aftermarket wheels make sure they are of a better quality than stock. Those are obviously not.

+1. Those appear to be replicas of other popular replicas. Your car deserves better.

I'd probably go with something other than silver to change it up a bit...http://www.discounttire.com/product/...rt7.bcm.xl.jpg
This I think looks way better
