Question 18 inch TL-s Wheels

Does anyone know of any manufacturer out there that makes a replica of the TL-s rims in 18s? I love the look the tl-s rims but want them in 18s and I can't find anyone out there who's making them.

Agreed. I'd love to find an 18x7 or 18x7.5 wheel that is very similar to the TL-S wheel. I want fatter tires, but I don't want to sacrafice the TL-S wheels which I _LOVE_.

The stock rims are made by Enkei. Hope this helps.

Ditto. The closest looking rims I saw is on the tirerack website. They're called AT Italia S5, and a member on this board called closer has a set. They're 18x7.5 but the offset I think is only 50, compared to the stock rims which are 55. Too bad, since if they were at least 55 or 60 you might be able to get away with 235 width tires without rubbing. Personally I wouldnt get any rims that didnt allow Yokahamas to be put on them, so 19s are out of the question.

With a 50 offset you are totally in the clear with 235 tires. 60 is waaay too high and you'll defniitely rub. People over at the CL board I believe have 48 offsets on 235 tires and they are dropped with no problems whatsoever.

Too bad Toyo's arent listed in tirerack. Are they quiter than the yolks? or just plain stick better? I'm looking for the quietest tire *thats affordable* in the market.
