Your car as long as you like it that is all that matters. Not my taste.

why spend any amount on a set of wheels that are cheaper in quality than the stockers. could end up costing you in the long run. aren't tires more expensive for 19's?

more like idiotic to have 19's as winter wheels. you just make no sense.

Do people not READ the ****ing thread? The wheels retail for almost $400/rim. That's a price of a quality wheel. Better than Rotas.... lmao

They were on closeout geniuses... come on.

Anyway, they look nice and you got a killer deal on them so My first set of aftermarket wheels ever were 5-spokes, I definitely miss the clean simple look.

True that, especially if its in more aggressive fitment. The wheels look clean

$59 bucks each i would say its a good deal, and they dont look to bad. But you have to remember cheap wheels like rotas and pep boys specials are known to crack and shatter in a 100 pieces. Just be careful and keep an eye out for pot holes. As long as you like them thats all that matters. They just arnt for me. But hey you might be the only person to ever have these on a X.

Seems like everyone on this forum wants to jump down someones throat if they didn't give their left nut for aftermarket parts. Hell 1 dollar or 1,000 dollars per wheel doesn't matter if you like them.

Expensive doesn't always equal cool or quality.

For 59 bucks you can't go wrong with these. if i were you i would sell them for like $300 and make some money off of it then save up and go buy some rims you really like.

I'd find it hard to believe The Tire Rack would sell something that wouldn't meet minimum safety and quality requirements. They are a stand-up retailer.

For 59 bucks it's a hell of a deal. Attractive or not, I'd have been all over them too.

Good work!
