Default What do you think of these wheels?

The wheels are summit fast five's. They look like weld wheels but will they work?I need something that is somewhat affordable and I will be able to put a 28" slick on. I dont want to grind a ton off of my calipers but don't mind doing a little bit to make it work.

They look great for a knock off of Weld products. Of course they weigh about 10lbs heavier, but if you're going for "the look" you can't beat the China wheels.

Im going for cheap 15"s that fit. I will be able to afford some light wheels once my car is paid off. I just need something I can fit a slick on. I don't think I can even afford a skinny right now.

It'd probably be cheaper to buy another set of 16x8 wheels to mount slicks on.

Why do you say that? I already ordered the wheels and there is a local that sells take-offs for $30. That was my main reason for buying a 15", the other reason is you get more sidewall with a 15".
