I know this is the wrong thread and if the Mod or hitman feels like this should be moved by all means.

Ok I had these wheel on my first Q45 and I think these wheels alone give nice they look great on my first Q45 (But I junked the whole car because my parents think keeping anything from a car in a acident is bad luck.)

But are these wheels worth it?

I feel that I can never have enough wheels.

I want the Z-racing, The OEM BBS Q45 Rims and the 2 rims I have now (Q45 A and base wheels). with those four types of wheels I will be a complete man.

I have to assume you mean that style of wheel and not those actual wheels because they are obviously not the right size...

Since they are marketed (at least on that ad) for a little Hyundai I would check the weight ratings and other specs to make sure it will handle the weight of the Q. As far as looks go, they are ok. I'm not a huge fan but I like almost anything as long as it's not and OEM Pie Pan wheel (hate them with a passion).

Which is totally unimportant since they aren't being used as intended. Few pictures of wheels with the car is moving as there is not that much difference at speed when it comes to looks.

There is a lot of difference in strength, proper offset, hubcentricity, correct size and most importantly weight, all of which affect dynamic performance, which "style" does not.

Of course, even if one avoids weak round anchors, one can still fubar the deal with cheap tires. Hence one should always shop tires first, then wheels which meet minimum OEM specifications to accomodate them.

I was hoping you meant the style because the wheels you linked to are 4 lug... and the Q has 5 lug...

I hate the style of that wheel, but that only affects me and my opinion of your car should you decide to buy and install them.

To be honest the "style" isn't that different than the OZ Racing wheels on MinisterOfDooms Q45.

That said, you should really focus on the fit and quality of the wheel, because you can find good wheels that look good as well.

I would prefer BBS wheels and a rear spoiler for Christmas but if I can find these wheels I will be happy as well.

Nothing sexier than a Q45 with the BBS Wheels and a spoiler though.

MOD wheels are 6 spoke, And the spoke isn't against the wheels as much (it doesn't narrow going into the wheel).

And yes, I'm familiar with what MoD's look like "in person"I just said they were a similar style.

Nice.

O I know what you mean (There are different types of wheels (mesh, spoke or DUB)) In that case yea but IDK it just reminds me of Wes's wheels more than those.
