Whats your opinion?

Im either getting:

A: 4 new tires

OR

B: http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/825/dscf12326sb.jpg
These rims

Would those look good on a 3rd gen camaro? They are 18 inch enkies with ultra low pro tires, they also only weigh 13 pounds a piece.

^Is what I have on the car now.


Im indecissive, what do you guys think?


*edit*:
My friend dave owns the neon, it got hit and run so he no longer has use for the rims. 300 dollars gets me those rims. They look sweet as hell when they are in motion, they stick out past the tire some.

I vote for option C... Restore the wheels on your car now and get new tires for those... Those wheels on the neon look like ***.

Leave the wheels on the Neon and send the Neon the the JY, maybe they will crush it with the wheels on it.

Use the wheels you got now, with a little work, they will look very nice. Tires will be much cheaper to.

I think you're on the right track and should totally take advantage of that wonderful offer and buy the rims.

In fact, I bet if you looked around hard enough you could find a park bench somewhere to mount to your hatch as a spoiler too.

I have a friend who is selling some flashing LEDs for his washer fluid outlets with his glowing accelerator and brake pedals and type-R stickers.. I would be willing to talk to him for you if you're interested...

P.S. - This car deserves those rims... not yours

I guess i'll be the first with a little CONSTUCTIVE criticism. Do i think you should do it? no. But they do kind of look like 93-97 camaro salad shooters. To each his own man do what you want, not what everyone on here wants.

Just because they are a good price doesn't mean you have to buy them.
