Default Rim advice

I have a blue '05 Roadster that I'm about to start modding.

I found some rims that I think would look good, but everyone I've asked seemed to be iffy about them. So I figured I'd ask the pros if these would look good.

I looked at the simulation on Andy's and it looks pretty good to me.

Looks aside, they only 18" size they offer is 18x7.5+48 which is not ideal sizing for the 350. Keep looking.

By asking people on this forum you will get a 100 opinions, if you like them and they are going on your car then buy them. Don't worry what other people think

Are you looking to stagger your sizes (rear wider than front) or square them (front and rear the same)? That will also effect your decision. I would read the FAQs and posts in the Wheel and Tire section, there is plenty of info there to help you.

OP... the wheels are too narrow and the offset is too high... The wheels will look "sunk" in... Keep looking for other wheels... be patient and make sure you find something that your going to be happy with and that will work with the car... GL

If you can dress yourself in the morning you can certainly pick wheels.
