Why is picking rims so damn hard?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Dammit! I spend months looking at virtually every rim in production. I finally find "The Rims", find a place that can get them and what happens? They can't get them! I had a wrench thrown in things when I find out that it could take 6 months or more to get them in 4x100. Why? "Because cars aren't really made with 4x100's any more, so they're making fewer of them." They searched for about a week seeing if they could be found. So the Weds rims I wanted are so rare to find with 4x100, it's almost impossible to get them (hence the 6 month time frame). So screw it... I want my damn rims in the next month or 2. I had 4 to begin with before I picked those... so I guess I'll just show you guys the other 3. Colors may not be right... I just chopped on what I could find.
Yes... they are the real thing and are exactly what you think they are.
Edit: I suppose I should tell you guys what is what...
The top ones are Advan RGs
The middle ones are TE37s
The bottom ones are CE28Ns

Rep Power: 0 ce28ns, I would say to go with. Yeah 4 lug I didn't have a problem with on rims yeah the one I wanted when I started looking at rims 15 mths ago, after all that time was still the one I went with 
so I went crazy trying to find the best deals and look at every rim before I decided. But still wish I would have got 18" but oh well can't always win.

Rep Power: 396 I dont like any of those....They are all outplayed.....Why dont you get the rims on line and have them shipped to your house. There are many places on line where you can get good deals on rims and tires.

Rep Power: 0 I hate to throw another wrench in the works, but if you like the TE37s, check out Konig Rated R's. They are the same style, and here in Canada, they are about $75 a piece less. Those are the ones I'm getting. And yes, I see the irony in putting German made wheels on a Japanese car , but hey, you roll with what you got, right?
