the specs on the tires are the rears are 18x8 +49 offset and the tires are 235/35/18 and the fronts are 18x7.5 +49 offset tires are 235/40/18. My boy had them on his S2K for a month and he is selling them to me real cheap. So I couldnt pass them up. the drop on the car is only Comptech springs but the Koni 5 way adjustable struts are coming real soon. That should help with the wheel gap that you see, but if you see them in person there is really no gap in the back these pics really dont do the rims justice. they look so much better in person

thanks for the comments good and bad. I love the rims. like i said the pics dont do the rims any justice they look so much better in person. the whole reason i went with gold is I just wanted something different. I seen a pic of a silver S2K with gold rims and thats what made me want them. I know it is not a look for everyone but hey its not your car. but once again thanks

well. the rims look good.
but you got several things that i dont like.
1. the wheels look small b/c they're 18's AND they have a polished lip. polished lips look hawt - but the truth is, they create a illusion of a smaller wheel.
2. while no one on this forum probably loves gold than me, silver and gold dont really go that well together.
BUT....
silver and your wheels dont look that horrible - the polished lip helps tie your wheels together with your car.
i have a feeling that your car would look pretty hot in life - probably alot better than in pics..
but my overall opinion is that your setup looks pretty good - but it would have been pimp if your car was white or black
or if you had silver wheels.
peace.
