yeah, I'm thinking about gettin these ace alloy manta wheels in 18"x7.5" , 43mm offset, with the 215/40/18 tires. Just wanted to know about some characteristics and differences between those and the more common 225/40/18. I really don't like the tire to bubble out, I like the trim look. would it be better to get 235/35/18? can anybody help me decide?

 

Wow i really like those wheels. How much do they go for.

 

I'm gettin them in satin silver, or gun-metal and they run for about 280, a piece. through a dealer they will be cheaper. I'm torn between those and the pic posted in my sig.

 

GET THOSE DOUBLE 5- SPOKES ... They are hot!!!

I'd go with 235/40/18's - the 35's are too damn thin! - the ride is rough, and the wheels bend easily when you hit a pothole!

 

yeah, I'm gonna stick with 40series, but won't the tire look bigger at 235 than 225 or 215.

 

GO with 235/40/18. I have no regret. It looks very nice!

 

Hey Ron, I just saw those 2 weeks ago in sports compact car and tried to see the info on their home page but acealloywheels.com is all fucked up.

Both nice good choise but isn't 215 a little too narrow for 18inch tires?

 

Those are Sweet! I thought you were supposed to get them in chrome?

 

I think 225/40/18 is the closer match to our speedo/odo.. Very Nice Wheels!!

 

I think he's worried about rubbing with the +43 offset.

 

Those are nice.
Where are you getting them and how much for 18” in CHROME ???

rondog, those rims are tight as shit....can u photoshop them on a cl? i wanna see how it looks....how much for 18's in chrome?

 

I can't seem to get a clear shot of them anywere else. the pic is from the ad in Sport compact mag. they go for $400 chrome but you can haggle with the dealer. I'm gettin them with 215/40/18 from the guy I did catalogs for in the BX. I want chrome, but he said ace alloy chrome sucks so i'll just go with the bright satin silver finnish. choosing rims is hard, I want to get a good deal but I still want decent looking wheels that are low maintinace...

 

those wheels are sweet. Since i can't get he momo sports, i am going to order these. Is there anyplace to get a clear pic of them so that we can photoshop.

 

yeah kid, I just ordered them in gun-metal, should be here in a week. check out www.acealloywheel.com . good thing you live in california, I don't want to see alot of cl's with the same rim setup.

 

hey rondog,

do you know if they come in silver? the gunmetal color will not look good with my silver CL-S.
