I still have stock tires, will these fit fine or is anything going to be a problem since stock are 17 by 7 and theses are 7.5 and are these wheels worth getting ? I know there cheap but there not just gonna break going down the road are they lol

those tire won't be a problem just needs a little stretch and those rims before you buy them do a lot of research remember in some cases you get what you pay for..

tbh, I wouldn't buy those wheels. they look pretty sketchy and I have never heard of the company before. although you might not have problems in most DD applications, you might start having problems over time or if you hit pot holes or something. I have had friends who bought cheap wheels from America's Tire (they didn't believe me at first) and had bent the wheels going over light pot holes and even at auto cross.

Be very careful. Any rim that cheap will likely fail on you in a short matter of time. Never heard of the brand and I can guarantee they are made very cheaply. As for the size you'll be just fine. Plenty of clearance.

"katana" has always been a janky brand... even among replica wheel companies, they're shitty. but then again, most replica wheel companies are shitty cuz they all come from the same factory in china/taiwan anyway lol. these are no better/worse than XXR's which seem to be popular

I agree with the statements above. That you get what you pay for, that they are made cheaply (duh), and that they are no better or worse than other budget wheels.

I have dirt cheep wheels. They are holding up fine for me. I have had them 32,000 miles of rural highway driving with lots of potholes. I have gone through two sets of tires, and they still balance fine. http://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-17-whee...7898a9&vxp=mtr <- Actually these are slightly better than what I have; I have the ten hole version they put out first. Lame!

I wish I had better wheels though...

Caveat emptor!
