Default opinions on rims

hey guys wussup, im planning on gettin my rims soon. i saw these rims Primax Racing 687's. they're the tri star ones? i guess. its really plain which i like and its something you never see around which i also like, and best of all, i can get this hold deal wit rims and tires for less than $800.
if you go to www.rim1.com its under the primax section. the primax 687's. if u can guys, check em out and give me some opinions.(do they look butt-a$$ ugly, do they look aiight...u get the idea) thanx...

I've personally never been a fan of 3 spoke wheels, but i love the lip on those.

In fact, the lip is so big, I worry that they would push the wheels so far out you would rub. Check the wheel offset on those.

Stock is +42. You should be fine with anything between +35 and +45 with lowering springs, or +30 to +50 with stock springs.

I hate to burst your bubble, but those wheels look like they have a negative offset. If so, there is probably no way to make them fit a Tiburon without rolling the fenders significantly.

I think they will be fine. If you look at the 3 spokes they come back towards the outer lip of the wheel. Ask for the offset before you buy but I'm almost certain they are the offset you are looking for...

Damn, those are +45's? Okay, what width wheel are you looking at?

16x7?

its not about the pricing guys, i like em. i think the 8 spoke and wutever the rest of em are so played out and corny. almost everyone i talked to doesn't like em but i dunno. its sumthin different, which is one of the main reasons i bought a tib in the first place, no wut i mean? i think imma get em, 95%. we'll see how it looks then. i mean is there no one out there that agrees wit me?
