listen to him...just keep saving. keep your eyes peeled on craiglist and the marketplace...its what im doing...i check daily!

 

but if you are really that eager to get some rims...check out tsw's at discount...theyre not that bad imo...

 

Thanks for the help guys, i'll check my local craigslist from time to time. Can anyone just tell me what offset to look for in 18" wheels.

 

This is closet to the OEM set up. It will work.

 

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

 

lol im not going to post pics of my ride and make you feel bad

 

i think you need to continue shopping.

 

offset is not exclusive to 17s, 18s, 19s etc.. width comes in to play too.

most wheels that fit our cars well range from 0 (aggressive fitment) to 25 offset (conservative fitment). stock is 30/33 I believe.

I ride on 18" 9.5" width 20 offset and it fits great. it's not 100% flush but it is good enough for me.

 

kk, thought so.

 

^His setup is legit, he doesn't need to post it.

Please keep researching, those are both pretty terrible options.

 

fairladyboss actually has a photo or two floating around somewhere on this forum, his car looks dope.

 

I just picked up a set of TRMotorsport MT1's on Tirerack.com They were on sale for 229 a piece for 18x10 +25 offsets and these are 20 pounds a piece and are gravity cast like Enkeis. HIGHLY overlooked wheels at a great price. Originally they are something like 350 a piece plus shipping. All in all they were 980 shipped to my doors.

Then again..I also picked up some Advans to get my JDM monster fed.

 

Still wait'n to see them mounted (from your other thread) That is a good deal, those wheels don't look too bad and have a nice width/offset.

 

I agree, they are good looking wheels...I purchased some Pirelli PZero tires but one of them had a bubble in it...a new tire is coming in so i should have them mounted next week. I will take photos with stock suspension as well as some new photos when the springs and shocks get changed out.
