Elbrus I04 from TireRack.
I know they're a cheap wheel (obviously...look at the price and the manufacturer), but I like the looks of them.
I'm interested in 16's for my silver sedan. What does everyone think of them? Do they look all right? I know they are 5 spoke so they are similar to the stock wheels, but that's what I want...I can't find any OEM 5 spoke locally for sale, so I want something similar.
Also, will 225/50 16 tires fit without rubbing or am I better off with 205/55 (I have Sportlines installed). Obviously these will be summer only wheels (I have a set of aftermarket steelies with winter tires along with my OEM steelies and crappy Conti tires).
Can anyone make a recommendation for tires as well...I want some good summer tires without being more than $100 per tire (really would like to spend about $75 per tire at most). In a 16" that shouldn't be hard.
Here's a link to the page for them and a picture.

yeah i got an email about the new wheels, they look good, the only thing you really need to worry about it the finish. I bought cheap wheels for my truck (like 40 bucks a wheel) and they looked perfect until one winter in Pittsburgh. and they where trashed.

Yeah, I don't expect cheap wheels to be great, but at least they would be decent enough for a couple seasons (hopefully) and as stated, they would be summer only as I have my steelies for winter (with winter tires mounted).
But I don't have the ability to spend much on my car at any given time...having a family, I have priorities (plus we've got a house payment and 2 cars to pay for as well). I have to make my money count on each thing I do and hopefully these would be worthwhile for a couple seasons until I get bored of them and want something else.
