thinking about rims again...
hmm so I have some money saved in the turbo fund that isn't happening ($200 lol) so i thought about getting rims. I have alot more to save obviously and it seems the rims i want only come in 16s so i would need new tires too. so i think in a year or two if i still have the car I want to get these rims and some tires. what do you think? or other suggestions? lightweight is a requirement but i also want them to look good.

Those things are crap, regardless of how much they charge. They're soft and flexible, a lot of people can take them racing and turn 4 into eggs in a single season. Realtime racing stopped using them because they were fed up dealing with bent ones.
I really don't recommend those wheels at all. They're just not very strong.
For that much money, look at Volks (CE28, TE/LE37, SE37K), look at Wed's (TC005) and look at Work (Forged Emotion), or find some slightly used Mugens.
Not to mention SSR is floating the bankruptcy line.... I think someone took them over, but if they fold again and you need to replace one,you're going to be SOL.
