Default Wheels that fit stock 18" rubber?

Would it be hard to find wheels that fit stock 18" rubber? I got new rubber when i bought the car, so it'd be a shame to throw it away and spend for a new set.

No, it would be a shame to put that **** rubber on your nice new rims. And it would be a shame to limit your choices of rim by looking at 8" width.

ahh Wired has a point the stock SH1TENZA'S have the worst grip almost like if the tires were made outta wax or something. I used the old stock crap tires on my old rims RPM 505 18x8 and 18x9 but you are better off swapping tires and wheels and selling your stockers with tires.

Most members ask what tires fit these wheels?, but you ask what wheels fit these tires? I recommend that you stick with the OEM wheel width plus or minus 0.50 inches.

There ar a lot of 18x8's out there, just be sure to get a wheel with an offset in the +20mm to +30mm Range.

Why not just wait to change the wheels until the tires wear out. You could speed up the process by going to a parking lot and seeing how many donuts you can do!
