I just bought these

I just bought these wheels off Ebay. 2 for 81 dollars shipped.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/79-80...63809492QQrdZ1

What do you all think? To me they look a little bigger then 13s but its hard to tell when not compared to anything. I figured Id buy them and I could either get 14s for the back, use them later on for drag/autox wheels, or resale them.

Where these worth the money? Anyone know where I could get 205-215s for them? And does anyone have a picture of similar wheels on there car? I looked through the pic thread but couldnt find much.

eh... how will those work only as a pair? not to talk bad or anything. wheels are hard enough as it is to get. as for tires, i think depending on the size of the wheel (13x6.5) 205/60-13 sound right?

thats the best i could see in that size

Not a real good pic, but I think these are the same wheel. Now all you need is the matching hp to go with the slicks, lol.

Yea grabbing 2 wheels isnt that usefull. I figured since my front is so low on my car already throw those in the front, paint the centers black. And get another style for the back with the center painted black and they would look alot alike.

I was the other person bidding on them. Good grab. I just didn't need only 2 wheels. Tirerack has some tires for them. Sumitomos.
