lol well other than the first gunmetal ones being 4 lug i think they do. a buddy of mine with an fd was checking the same ones out and said they do. he could have been wrong tho

i dont care either way because if they dont i can always find similar ones that do fit

still wanting opinions on the styles and colors with my paint

Since you asked....I would get some quality wheels instead of cheap knock-off brands like the ones you posted above. As aznpoopy pointed out, give Auto RND a call with a general idea of desired looks and a real budget. If you can't afford decent wheels, then I would suggest just replacing your ruined stocker and sticking with stock. BTW, you can pick up a set of 17x9 +43 5zigens for about $1000. Also, look for good deals on used sets of quality wheels, which often come with tires in decent shape too.

I agree with rynberg, cheap knock-off wheels don't belong on a 7. Rishie at Auto RnD will hook you up.

It might help if you let us know a few things so we can help you out:

1. What's your price range for Wheels and tires?
2. What will you be using the car for? Plain street driving? AutoX? Drag? Road racing?
3. What kind of style of wheel do you like?
4. What kind of suspension setup do you have or do you plan to have for the wheels?

Question

well see its like this... i have about a 1000-1200 spending limit on a wheel & tire package

for rightnow its just weekend warrior street driving.

i want something in the 18in range.. mesh, 5 spoke, or a split 5 spoke i guess you would call it.. (gold/bronze/dark bronze/gunmetal)

no real suspension mods as of yet. i know if i get 18's tho it would look goofy as **** on stock height. so i would automatically being saving for lowering springs etc..

if you can get 18s with decent fitment, new tires, and mounting and balancing for 1000-1200 i would be amazed

even used from rbmotoring is out of your budget

your best bet is to search for wheel/tire combos from private sellers. check the wheel tire f/s forum, craigslist, ebay, etc

imo just take a break, save more money
