i have no idea what kind of rims or tires they are, but i really want gold rims.

$145 for 4 rims and tires seems pretty hard to beat.
is your 240 5 lug? stock is 4x114.3

[sbart315]

yeah i have a 95 SE so its 5 lug.
gonna sound like a newb question but i dont know alot about rims, whats the 5x100 mean. im guessing 5 is 5 lug

[chaosli]

it wont fit a 240 5x100 is the lug patteren our cars 5 lug pattern is 5x114.3 most just call it 114

[sbart315]

whats the second number mean? like whats the difference between 5x100 and 5x114.3?

[Crazyirish]

PCD or Pitch Circle Diameter

[sbart315]

o ok. so let me get this straight. basically on the rims i found, the space between the lug nuts, or PCD, is 4.3 mm too small?

Let me put this as simple as i can so you can understand.

5x100 - will not fit
5x114 - will fit

Dude, nothing will make those wheels worth putting on a 240.

OP, plz have a little patience and get something that will look/fit decent, so you won't end up being rediculed by every other 240 driver that knows better. Even with as little as $600 you can get yourself some dirt cheap, but decent fitting and brand new wheels. Personally, I recommend XXR 521's in 18x8.5+30 and 18x10+25.

[sbart315]

thanks for all the help. i understand now, i just never new what the numbers meant before.
and as for buying new rims i dont have the money to do that because i still owe 400 on my 240.

Then wait, dude. Don't go off half cocked, buying sh*t you're just gonna throw away later. I mean, its your money. Waste it if you want to. But I think alot of ppl around here can offer nice suggestions that fit within the ideal of what you want for your car if you come up with some kind of realistic budget. We're all just here to help each other.

As stated above, wait and save up. Meanwhile, nothing better than a can of gold spray paint!

[sbart315]

right now i actually have stock rims spray painted black with gold centercaps
