Talking Should i get these Rims Any input "ASAP

I recently bought a 02 Honda Civic LX 4 DR. I am tired of the plastic looking rims that the OEM put on.

Some guy a like couple of miles away from me is selling these rims. 400 bucks With tires. Wanted to know if they would look good or they are pure crap. Any input would be great.

The rims

not a bad deal but you should buy them for yourself and if "you" really like them. Not if everyone else likes them. They are pretty similar to alot of rims out there today. I would look for something different, but thats my opinion. How bout these for sale in my thread.

just wait, don't be in a rush to get something for your car. there were a ton of times that i could have gotten something for cheap, but you get what you pay for. instead i decided to wait for everything to come together naturally instead of forcing it.
