They look kind of small for 18's. I thought they would have been bigger.

Yeah, I put the stockers 215 40's on the new rims and stretched them a bit. I think I need some 225 40's and coilovers to make it look right.

Gunmetal on the black is a pretty sick combo. I've just got the stock rims right now, but come spring time I'm thinking that may be the way to go.

I love the look but have one quick question for everyone.

If I go with the 18x8.5 rims, stock tire size won't work will it? It already begins looking stretched at 8 inches.

Nice wheels!

WOW! You should not have the stock tire on 8" rims. dont bother w/ 225 either. go with 235/40.

I have since purchased some 225/40's and like them better. I would love to go 235/40's but I'm afraid they'll rub. I lowered on the Eibach Pro Kit about .8"R and .7" F.

Love those wheels man.. Def one of my favorite wheels on our BM cars. It's a close one for me between these ones, and the OZ ultraleggeras

Thanks. If you have the money, go for the OZ ultraleggeras. They're great wheels.
