Hub centric and offset questions, are they an issue? Options

[SiKBOY]

Its time for me to get a new set of wheels, mainly because mine have dents in them I've already had them repaired once before.
I am looking into getting a set that will actually fit my car and not too concerned about looks. I know that most people that get wheels dont care about if they are HUB centric and they dont get the correct/same offset as the originals but I want to know if it affects the handling of the car or not or if you can get some kind of adapter to make aftermarket wheels to be hubcentric. I know you can get spacers to make negative offset wheels to come out more but I heard that spacers arnt recommended.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yeah... It's so funny. I've posted about the problem before and everybody always says "check the balance" or "my wheels vibrated until I got the balance checked".

This problem goes way beyond balanced tires. I should know, both sets got balanced about four times each. We even swapped tires thinking the rubber was bunk. And, yes, the tires were the right size. All the shops were looking for any reason besides the rims, which started out being a used set I had on my 91 GTS that worked fine on that car, but they couldn't find anything wrong with the car. So we took those wheels off thinking they were messed up, being used and all, and I bought a new set, brand new, even making sure they were 15's instead of 16's thinking the car didn't like plus size wheels and lower profile tires. Same problem. It's got the wheel shop so baffled that they've agreed to get me my money back for the whole thing. They offered to try another set of rims on an even swap, but then they decided they'd just get my money back to me to avoid the risk of another set not working either. It boils down to the wheels just not fitting the car, so I get a refund.

I wish someone could figure it out, cause those last wheels I had, which are on my profile pics, really make the car look sweet, and the factory wheels suck a fat one.

At least I've got my smooth ride back though. Maybe with the money I got back from the wheels, I can buy the TRD springs I've been wanting...
