Gotta see some pics to really say, but 700 for a new set of tires and works wheels are a good deal. Just remember with works you are now the envy of every rice boy out there with a fart can civic make sure to "lug" those wheels up!

the guy just called me back. theyre a 42 offset. also they are work emotions CR Kai's. do you think the gunmetal would look ok on an orange fit, thinkin about getting blue lugs to match the writing along the rim. he said no curb damage on any wheel.

Im pretty sure Work stamps their wheels along the inside of one of the openings, get as many pictures as you can or go inspect them yourself...the ones you are looking at are like these right? see the top part of the wheels where it says work.

Should look sweet...congrats on a good find! Personally I'd go for black lugs. I think the blue will stick out like a sore thumb and look totally out of place on an orange car...

Don't guess Decide how you want your car to look...think about it some more...then take the plunge and go for it (after you've changed your mind a dozen times...after you've already "decided"). Comprende?

It's real easy once you get the hang of it. Spend money. Second guess. Gather opinions. Spend more money...you'll figure it out. Eventually, after spending lots and lots of money and being second guessed by totally anonymous people who willingly offer up their opinions. After you've spent your money. Who will rag on you for the choices you've made (while secrectly envying you for having the money in the first place and not really disliking your choices).

See how easy that is? Love your choice of black lugs by the way Can't help you on where to buy them though.

Looking forward to the pics...
