wheels----what do you think?

I saw these wheels on Ebay and wanted some opinions. I thought they would look nice on my SE. Never heard of Sacchi, but I'm not into wheels either. I thought they weren't bad for the price. Let me know what you think.

I think the price lured you more then the design.
I think this will make your car look bad.
And bad as in, not good.

Chrome is out, it is heavy (unless you have a turbo, you will feel the additional weight), and on cheap wheels it will look like a*s in a couple of months--especially if you see salt.

Add to that that that wheel is UGLY...

Who cares? You think you're a "Juggalo" and have a paper mache body kit. The only 18s on a SA/FB that look good are Dan S. Young's on his widebody.

Agreed.

And to whoever (I think it was the OP) said that meshies only belong on a Crown Vic, let me submit my car as proof that they can and do look good.

This and that all sounds like a lot of personal opinions. I didn't get a chance to see the OP's ebay wheels, but, if u want something cheap. Look up 18racing.com

PERSONALLY, I like american racing eagle 5 spoke wheels, currently trying to buy a set from a forum member. Anything old school in 13', I don't care for meshies. Unless they're 13's, then I could rock em'
