Here's a good example of a Cheap wheels ruining a perfectly good car.
He bought this car, looking like this.
And managed to fuck it up, by throwing on shit wheels.
His excuse? Quote:

I think for every example of cars "ruined" by cheap wheels you can find just as many (if not more) of cars that look good with cheap wheels. Not arguing that a set of volks/works wouldn't look better though just trying to be fair.

You CAN find decent used wheels for the price of a new set of XXR's, but if they aren't beat to shit, the width/offset/style is not going to be great. The occasional diamond in the rough does come up.
Guy with the comment is a stupid prick and is probably covering up for the fact he can't park without curbing his wheels.

Araaadi, what car do you drive? Im assuming its an 8thGen civic..
I had 962s before and they could look amazing depending on car and style. Just make sure you get the right wheel/tire size. Generally speaking certain wheels will look better on specific cars so Research and do Comparisons on for any wheel/mod.
Also look into the XXR 526 in 18x9
As for that 240 man thats just a bad combo..

Yepp 8th gen civic coupe in taffetta white.
Im pretty dead set on the 527's. Im leaning towards chromium black in 17 x 8.25 + 35, with 17 x 8.25 + 25 on the rear. Or maybe just +25 or + 35 all around, I am gladly open to suggestions and comments because I am very new at this.

Then you'll know which offset you'll want.
