Default I need your guys opinion on something...

I was checking through ebay and came upon this... ebay I just need to know a few things from people out there who got aftermarket wheels.

1) I just got the Eibach Pro-Damper kit with springs installed. Will I have any problem with rubbing with these new wheels?
2) I unfortunately have capitive rotors. Does this mean I will need to get new rotors up front (i.e. Shark Racing Big Brake Kit or Precision Braking Kit) to utilize these rims?
3) Do you believe they are a good price for what they are offering?
4) Is the bolt pattern correct for a 1998 Tiburon SE?

Thank you in advance. I apologize if any of these questions have been asked already.

Velox, you get what you pay for I guess...

By no means they're high quality as say SSR/BBS/Volks but they're decent.

Rotas are best imo in terms of quality/price.

If you have captive rotors, there are very few wheels that will fit over them. You will have to convert to non-captive, or go with one of the few wheels that will work with captive rotors.

IMHO, that price is okay for those wheels, but nuthing great. the tires are worth about $60 each, and that leaves them charging you $150 a wheel. Not a great deal....

If you live here, I can direct you to a lotta shops that have Rotas. But since you don't, well, too bad. tongue.gif
