Another one of these -- Need Opinions on these wheels

Ace Allure (silver)
Size: 18x8
PCD: 5x114.3
ET: 43


Pros:
- 18x8; et 43
- Modified stock look
- Apx. a 2 inch lip
- Reasonably priced
- Relatively easy to clean (as compared to mesh style wheels I am also considering, i.e. Ace Arius)

Cons:
- Fake 2 peice rivets
- Additional spoke (7) may not make them look much bigger than the stock type-S wheels that are currently on my car.

So, looking for some opinions on how these would look on a Nighthawk Black Pearl 03 CL 6 speed...





These are 19's -- is this guy a member?

looks good. +43 will probably rub though, unless you have small tires...

Yeah...figured that, good point.

Put that in the 'Cons' category.

You won't rub that much if anything just cut your tabs. I have a 42 offset on a 18x7.5 and don't rub at all. I only rub when I hit a big dip and trying to take 35mph curves at 60.

I think they are great wheels for the price. Theyre strong too, Ive never had wheels this long with out bending them. Seach for another member on here I think its Andre, he has these wheels with the silver finish.

My only complaints are that they look smaller than 19, I think its due to the flat outer rim, and the fake rivets & little holes between the lugs are hard to clean.

I had to trim the rear bumper tabs and roll the fenders.

That guys been on this site for a looong time, he doesnt post much though...I like that pic.

Not bad. I like wheels where the lugs are covered by a center cap.
