Hi
Check out this link and tell me which of the offered wheels I should get?
My car is 2001 Cavalier coupe.
I've been waiting for the opportunity to get wheels cheaper... Also the ad says that the tires don't come with it, so how much can tires cost?
Please don't tell me that it's my car and I should follow my taste. I'm asking for both technical and aesthetic advice.

Unless they're made of adamantium, wheels shouldn't affect your car "technically".
And you didn't provide pictures of your ride, how can you expect responses that make any sense?

It's really not that hard. Look at your car and picture it with any of those wheels on it.
Black or silver? Polished lip or black? Six-spoke or twelve?
What do you like?

Personally, I think all of those ones look generic/cheap and it'll only be worse in-person.

I think it said in the small print that they were made of adamantium... Just kidding lol

Also, yes I forgot to mention the car is silver.


And by technical, I was worried there would be problems with width or offset, both of which I don`t know much about.

Also, as for my personal taste with the style, I would prefer either the rim to be chrome and the spokes black, or vice versa.

However, since I don't have a big budget, I wouldn't mind getting the exact style that I want.
Should I just wait till I find the right rim at the right price?

Also, how about these other deals?

"Fast" 205/45/17, ad says they are scratched, but still good. Going for $250:



"Fast" 17", ad says one of them is scratched (pic), going for $250



"Fast", 17" 5x100, going for $400:



As for my personal taste, these next ones would be good examples:

Why? I like my black wheels. Black looks better on a silver car than gunmetal.
