    not a fan of the huge ass wheels. dont go past 18s. check out some advans and gram lights. pricey but sick.

    okay i respect that. my gts is white with the blacked out front so i figured some matching black wheels would look nice. 18's would be more convenient because i wouldnt have to switch out the tire... thanks for the help. any one else?

    installed new wheels, picked these up with goodyear Fierce hp tires about 80% tread left for 500 total.

    wheels are MSR 045 18x8 +45 tires are 225 40 18 and there is no rub at all even at full lock turn on stock height.

    bought them off of craigslist but they can be bought online or on ebay for less than 600 for the set shipped.

    okay i changed my mind. im going to go with 18's so i dont have to buy new tires too. i want the wheels to be either all black or black with a white accent. any suggestions?

    This is just my opinion.. but i'd rather do the opposite of what everyone else is doing. And it seems like a lot of people are getting black rims. I know when I get my rims I want the Gram Lights Optimise. Their 9 spoke and all white. If you'd like to see what black rims look like check out tatjuso (sp?) on 9glancers.

    Pictures. Black wheels with a chrome lip which I'm sure wouldn't be too hard to paint white. Color matching on the other hand would suck.

    Those rims are a little big for me. 18's with a 45 tire is good lol.

    i dont think those are bigger than 18s?
    and if they are im not saying that size, but that type.
    even though that size actually looks sick!

    Yeah they might just look big because the car's lowered.
