Imho i find that stock ones look better. I'd suggest selling those, perhaps even give them away, and get steelies for now.

Save up for decent ones that dont cost much you know?

They look fine... They're not a long term thing probably so who cares. They look better than stock.

Jeez. Tough crowd huh? Lol. The rims arent too bad imo. I think you will find that you are gonna wanna upgrade to some rims with proper fitment and something that you put a little more thought into (you may think you put a lot of thought into those but a lot of guys on here spend a year or two deciding what size and offsets they want to make their rims look and fit perfect) I for one think there is almost nothing worse than stock wheels... My wheels are factory size (15X6.5+40) but they look a lot better than stock. They came on the car when I bought it and I would not have spent money on them... I would have left the stockies on while I saved up for proper wheels... but I am happy that I can at least roll on something nicer than stock while I save up for nice wheels.

I agree that they will make for "Stand-Ins" until you find something better. +1 for getting them for free! You can save some money and then sell these to upgrade to better ones later or if you have the money, sell them now and upgrade.

They aren't the worst wheels I've ever seen but they are below average. Rock them for a little while if you need to and spend some time researching what will "rock" on your car and go for that.

They do look like something that belongs on a Jetta though.

Well dang if ya got them for free, then just mount up some rubber and keep em for extras during the drift race. Lolz But seriously I'd just keep them extra or mount some sick slicks on them for drag, or if you drift or T/A just keep them while saving up for some sexy 17's or what i prefer 18's.

this pretty much says it all. I honestly think they do look better than stock though, and when the car is moving it will be a black w/shiny lip blur anyway. free wheels do drift on and abuse is not something to be taken for granted.

thats pretty clean looking. i don't like the tear drops either but you could get se alloys for really cheap, or you could even do a cheap 5 lug swap, q brakes and s14 wheels
