btw, i think the correct term if you go looking for them is wheel spacers, but i could be wrong.

Sorry but I don't care for the wheels either and it's really not safe to put the spacers in there just to make them stick out. I'd hate for something to happen while you're in the car.

youre going to do all 4 wheels? that would look horrendous, im sorry. Ive seen that before, and I hate it, no matter what car.

Maybe Im confused then.. Youre actually going to space the wheels out further?

They look a little like my rims, except mine look 10x better. If they are the only rims you can afford than you shouldn't be buying rims. Just save tour $$ and get some real nice ones later on
