Volks: sexy or not?!
Brand: Volk
Model: SF Challenge
Size: 18x7.5
Offset: 48+
Finish: Gold with polished lip
Car: 03 NBP CL-S
Drop: Eibach Sport Line
Thoughts? Will center bore fit (noob question)? Used set for $850 good deal? Gold looks nasty (should i powdercoat)? Does it need a hubcentric ring?

i meant my drop is good enough for the 18"
I need tires... used, ebay, w/e .. i just need a good brand + tire model that's cheap...
so here's what i need to buy before i put them on:
tires... 235/40/18?
hubcentric ring? do i need it?
i have chrome lugnuts, but i'm missing 2 locks... should i get chrome again?

i meant you CAN slam with 18's lol. i'm not a fan of colored lugs, but i think black or red anondized finish would look good.

first off, how the hell did you get a used set of those for $850?!
re050 is a great tire, but you're gunna be going through tires fairly quickly.
a similar tire in terms of performance to the re050 is the falken azenis 615, lot cheaper too
look at some toyo t1-s's too if you want...performs pretty good and tread lasts a good amount of time.
and omg.....if you make those rims chrome i will hunt you down.

dang, i just noticed shinybluecls is close to me.. i'm skared he might hunt me down...
suggestion on tire sizes? 215? 225? 235? rub on 235?
it's better to have the overall same radius correct? i use this calculator:
