    look ok, but they are probably heavy and not very strong.

    I don't really like them. If your just for looks... they are pretty decent i guess.

    I like the rota route.

    Yes, its basically for looks. I plan not to spent more then $900 on a set of 18" w/tires. I like the Rotas but they're already about $640 for the rims only. Tires, mounting, and balancing will crank the price to like $1k+. Plus Rota doesn't have 18" Black. I like black on the Rotas.

    oh yea, and these Ebay Rims are about $450 shipped.

    Perhaps send a message to the seller, if he is shipping them he should know what they weigh.

    otherwise, is it listed in the shipping details?

    My 6 cylinder makes 1250 lb/ft of torque.

    Good thinking, because tires and rims are the first place I'd want to cheap out.

    Don't cheap out on the rims if you do any spirited driving on them.

    ^ unless the rim is made of pot metal I wouldnt worry about it, ride in style and when you curb check that passenger side rear you wont go home and beat your wife.

    and if you live in a bad area, all the more reason to cheap out on rims lol ;)

    nope the *****'s are too small, and they would have to be black rims to be anatomically correct for 19's ;)

    haha that pic is funny- just like everyone else said. dude you have a subaru not a honda, ebay rims go on hondas not on subarus. plus they probably are heavy and not very durable. find used ones your pattern is 5x100 if you didnt know. GL

    My kid is looking at those exact wheels to put on our white GC. I thought they looked pretty cool.
