Default What rims are these?

Are these TEs??

The article in SCC says they are 18s 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. Anyone have an idea of what the offset could be??

And how much this would cost? Andy???

To get the spokes that concave on an 18", I'd guess they're +12/+15. From what I recall when seeing pictures of the +22's, they just didn't look that concave in 18". My 19" +22s look like that though.

While I find it hard to question Brian (Volk350z) and Andy on this - I have my doubts about +22 looking like that. When I was shopping for my Volks, everybody told me the only way I was going to get that much concavity was with 19's at +22. I saw a lot of pictures of 18's and none of them came close to what I was looking for - hence my ultimate choice of 19" wheels. Unless it's related to LE37 vs TE37s???

I used to have a bunch of pics that I downloaded of Z's with LE and TE wheels in 18 and 19" with offsets from +12 up to +35 for comparison. Unfortunately I've deleted them since making my decision and buying my wheels. Riggz - If I was you I would search out the 18" wheels threads and the Volk wheel threads here to see some samples with known offsets.

Andy - I think you just proved my point. Those look flat compared to the pic of the JIC car that RiggZ posted.

i think it's the colour and and angle that makes it look "flatter". They seem pretty concave on closer inspection imo.

Look at the lip on the rear of the JIC car - it looks huge compared to the one Andy posted. Maybe it's the color or the angle or the size, IDK.

There's only one way to settle this, Riggz has to buy some and put them on his car and then tell us if it's the look he wanted or not.

Dave, if farenheits car was in a picture from the same distance and angle as the JIC car, itd be the same. Plus, if anything, Brians probably the one who sold those wheels to JIC, lol.

True!

Damn, where were you guys 6 months ago when I was trying to pick my wheels? Now I wish I would have gotten the 18's.
