Default new rims? wat u think?

So as well all know i was suppose to plasti dip my rims, but i just dont think it would look that great on my rim (still plasti dip'in the bumpers and front grill), so i been lookin at the cragar soft 8's 17x9. They have a 5 in backspacing so i can get rid of my 1.5" spacers and i found them for 78 bucks a rim new? Is this a good price for them? and what you dudes think about the soft 8's? Also will i loose my stance as in will that 5 inch backspacing make my tires stick out further or not as much, because i would like to keep it as close to wat it is now.Thanks dudes

for the record, i hate plasti-dip so anytime there is another option, i'll choose the other option lol.

"so about my bumper... plasti-dip it, or shoot it with 1000 rounds of blue paintballs?" uhh... easy one. paintballs lol
