The Rims look Great! Only problem is there are a lot of people with the same ones. Just curious, do the tires rub and if not what size did you use? I am looking to get 18s for my Ralliart. The rims really do look nice though, is there going to be a bodykit in the future?

I think lowering will give you alot of troubles. It will probably look sick... but drivability will suffer greatly.

Holy oversize rims Batman!
Ok, now seriously, please answer this. Why 18's? I mean they have soooo many drawbacks to them on our cars.
They are heavy.
They rub with four people in you car.
You can't lower your car.
You have to use 35 series tires that make your ride rough.
You'll always have alignment issues.
With all that to consider do you really think they look that much better than 17's? They just don't seem practical to me. I'll even forgive the styling/chrome, but I don't get the reason for them.

I remember the first time I posted and every bashed on me... so I won't do that... I just have to agree with reTro... they may be too large... I have 17's with tires with a good sized sidewall and I've still dimpled the lip on one of them... You pretty much just have a rubber band around them... I do have to say I like them but you have to give in to some practicality... good luck...
