These are the 19" one's. I think they are +12, with a 10.5" rear? The 18" are more concave I think, with a smaller lip.

I would kill for a set of these.

Are these prices accurate, since they are not imported regularly now?

If you're really interested in the aggressive versions of the wheels I would try to find a wheel importer that can bring over used wheels or scour several forums and online shops.

You may not be able to find a set brand new but you could find something used, you just need to do some research and ask around.

EDIT: If I could do it, I would love to match the RS-Concept's 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 setup:

That would be a badass setup. I'm honestly considering trading mine for a set of 18"s. A 10.5" rear would be perfect.

The only problem with that setup is that you need to be super-low in the suspension setup.

I would just keep yours and get spacers since a good set of 19" LM's are starting to become harder to find.

That's true...definitely glad I got them when I did.

When did you get yours? Are yours the limited edition black or powder coated?

I got mine in 2008 and had them professionally painted black before I ever installed them.

The paint is still really good on them, just a few chips from daily driving but nothing noticeable.

I haven't seen the 19" in person but it seems like the 18" look more concave and more aggressive. I'm gonna hunt down some 18" with 10.5 rear.

Normally I think it's weird when people put wheels intended for one make of car on another make... but this is just bad ***.

Cool. I'm getting nervous about getting mine done.

Do you know what would be the best way to match a Ray's paint color exactly?

That Evo looks bad-***.

I've seen them on a few G-sedans and they look good also.

I'm not sure if Rays releases paint codes but a good wheel painter should be able at match any color.

My wheel painter could do it for sure:

Not sure on the specs I just came across that pic online, it looks to me like the 18x9.5's all around due to the concavity.
