I like the style at the time when i saw them online. I thought it would look good but after i put them on i wasnt happy at all. It kind sucks that im stuck with them now. I was trying to convince my self that i did like them but everyone here just put that to shame. And i didnt mind all the comments but the guy that said i should sell my car is an **** *** **** with all due respect of course. But everyone is right so at least you all answered my question. I dont need to paint the lip or leave it on there. I need to get new ones. Ill just buy some new ones. Well anyway thanks again and have a good day everyone

. But anyway I am in the middle of picking out new ones. But thanks for all the inputs lol even though they were like really bad. But hey i wanted an honest opinion and thats what i got. So anyway hope all have a good day/ night depending on where you are 
you need a pic of the whole car maybe it will look better when you see it with the car and not just the rim.. Some wheels look OK just by themself but when you see it with the entire car it will look 10x better... just me 1 cent
gotta give it to the OP for being a good sport about it. i respect that and thats much more respectable than a nice set of rims. sell those rims, research on this site, and get yourself a set you like within your budget

^What are you talking about? A 30/35 would look okay, but not that great since they make the rims look smaller than they are unless it's slammed. A 40 is pretty normal on an 18 since it is very close to factory tire diameter. If he has VDC then I would imagine that a 30 or 35 tire might throw it out of whack.

How do you know whether a certain size will throw it off? I'm still new to the 'tire' thing, I was just one of those people who were like okay, this tire? Okay, I'll get it.

Usually, they come back defensive or not at all! OP, I'm not feelin them, I suggest you fall in line and purchase some Volks/Works. Conforming sucks at first, but it gets better....you would be able to post in the >>>>>>>Volk<<<<<<<< thread
I think something along the lines of a RH J8 in bronze would look really good with the dark blue, look in the marketplace, usually some really good deals on good wheels in there.

Ok well I have been looking around for new rims and I have a few ideas of what id like to get. My problem is now this. My front rim is 18x8 and my back one is 18x10. Now i can afford new rims but i cant afford them with new tires. So i would like to keep the tires that i have right now. Since they are brand new and they weren’t cheap. My question is what is the lowest i can go on the width for my back tire which is 275. I now like zero about the tire size and the rim width. So could someone tell me what is the lowest i can go on the rim to still fit a 275 width? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I have a non staggered Rota P45R setup with 18x9.5 all around
245 in the front 275 in the back. Those sizes are very common.
