Ibrake4ducks & bigmike --- if im correct who at least 1 of you are,i suggest you go onto dallas' craigslist type in OR52 and bam! theres a set of 16x7 Enkeis for the low price of 375$.
Theres the whole guilt trip argument, and then theres the simple fact that if you put in some time and elbow grease, you can usually find something more interesting for the same or similar price
I can get a new set of the sportmaxx 501's for $400 shipped to my door.... 16x8 +15
If i had $ of course i spend it on some $1-2k wheels but im fine with what i got and they look good. Fake or not i don't care... never cared about "fake or legit wheels" . If i race i can slap some slicks on my steelies and im good. I love stance and crazy fitment but im more of a go fast person than looks, so no point to spend money on wheels when i can spend that much money into my motor boost,nitrous whatever it may be.

What's done to your ride? Please don't say a bolt-on C5.....
And in my opinion you're just a teenybopper looking to start shit with people who clearly aren't going to change their (correct?) opinions based on seeing yet another Honda on knock-off rims.
I will now hope in my ride with wheels worth more than your life and drive it to work, where I earn money to pay for said wheels.

Lets see your engine.
I'm sure the hack job suspension you're rollin on really helps put power to the ground.
c'mon guys leave the guy alone. i come from another car community and i dont want to burn bridges here esp. cause im new. but believe it or not, others are just in a better financial state than others. that being said, the guy just wants to be a part of the community.
i do believe in never settling for mediocrity when it comes it things ( rims in particular) but the guy isnt a poser and wants to achieve the look flush look without the bashing and the harassment.
so please let the guy ask the questions and ******, just sit this one out.
as for OP: go with 16x8 with 0et. make sure you have decent coils,camber kits,and spacers if you go with the 16's flush+poke look otherwise it wont stand out.
Im gonna throw myself out there on this. I have been on the XXR team now for 5 yrs. To me I look at is as preference rather than fake or real. Fake to me is something that is not real. Obviously you are looking at a wheel on a car therefore its not fake. LOL. I seriously can't come to myself spending 2-10k on wheels. With that, I would rather redo my living room, buy all my kids everything they want for the next 2 months HAHAHA, or buy season tickets to a favorite sports team. I love seeing people with nice or "real" rims too, but for me that's the farthest I get to owning it. Budget is what makes or breaks me.
This has also become an issue now with new people that want to go to meets, shows, etc. The people that cant afford the cool kid mods dont go to these because the cool kids disrespect them on what they have and they never show up again and feel shut down. Next thing you know you lose followers in certain fourm boards because people become disrespectful because of what people can afford.
People can **** on me all they want about my XXR background, but you know what they show'd me a lot of love compared to some friends I have that never even get a return phone call from "legit" wheel companies on questions they have. Trust me I know a few people in the "wheel corp" game and they just love taking your money rather than how it looks on your car.
