yea, im not trying to get the "dub" look. They just look a little like the G37 wheels in my opinion.

If it weren't for the edgy design at the ends of the spokes (which is kind of neat), and the faux bolts, they look a lot like G37S rims. Bolts around the rim is not a good look. The 5 extra center holes looks rather odd, too.

However, those are personal nits. They'll probably look real good on sheer silver. I like the overall design and the toned down luster.

The face of the wheel is nice but IMO the universal 10 hole bolt pattern just kills the wheel....screw 18s go with 19s...If I could do one thing again I would have bought 19s!!!

they look nice, go staggered if you get them or if they make them, thats my only complaint when I bought mine. 10 bolts does kill them.

Color-wise, they'll work great, but the extra bolt holes look, well, extra.

I say go for them.

lips on 18" just looks small for me. But if you like them, cool. They look good, to bad not available in 19".

Overall clean. I always like to see orgers with rims that aren't common, run of the mill designs.

W/ that width / offset & A33 chassis, they will be wayyy IN. Too much for my taste.

The design would work well on the car, but the offset is way too high. You can run a 15-20mm spacer and you'd be good to go.

I'd get 10-15. I think 10 would make them flush.

IMO i really like them except the uni lug 10 hole pattern (even tho i have it) and spending the cash for a new set of wheels that are only one inch bigger is to ME a waste. just my 2 cents

The univerals is odd +1

You can say that again, 18s were huge on a 3rd gen, and now they are...a bit too small on 5ths...

But on the other hand if I got 19's I bet they wouldnt have stayed in one piece.

Thanks guys! I've decided not to order them, going to look for M35 wheels or do a little stuff to me stockers.

Good decision. You dont want to make that investment and end up feeling just OK about it. No sense in rushing a decision on wheels.
