Is there a reason why you prefer 18" instead of 19" with the SF-Winnings?
If you're gonna track with these, then of course, 18s would be better - but if you're going more for the looks, I think 19s are better.
In addition, I think that there are better rims if you're gonna track... TE37s, RE30s, CE28Ns, Advans RS, etc. - lightweight and one-piece rims.
The forged monoblock ones from Volks are what I would go with if you're gonna track and go with 18s. =)

I have the 19" setup - see if you like my setup...

Here:


Here's an explanation of positive and negative offsets:

The wheel manufacturer/distributer can tell you if the wheels you are interested in are a correct fitment.

btw, davidv saw fit to show you a calculator

19s will most definitely fit if you're lowered. Just do a search to find the weights.
