You all will probably question why I'm not saving up for coilovers so here's the answer, the car is currently on ebay springs and the ride sucks, therefore; this is an upgrade that it needs. Coilovers will come probably at the end of the year. Wheel spec 17x7 +38. I have to ease off on the spending, I paid 1,200 for the car, had to put in some interior pieces, and now this.

17x7 is waste. Atleast 17x9 minimum. Xxr has the same style rims, and rota also makes a similar one. Also I bet cheaper

Those enkies are not much better.
I'd really recommend XXR or Rotas, something around 17x9 +12ish.

sell or return everything you just bought. you just bought all the wrong stuff. 17x7 wheels? NO! strut spring combo? most people that do that just find themselves wishing they had coilovers (not coilover sleeves). Some people love strut spring combo. just keep in mind, Coilovers > strut spring combo. XXR is your best bet for cheap nice fitting wheels. Suspension is the way of life.

:gotme: You live and you learn, I'll try to trade/sell these locally and get something else but as of now these will have to do. I explained the coilover situation already. Now, Guten tag!
