Which rims should I go for??

sup guy I will be looking in new wheels for my ride. Need some advice from ur guyz which wheels and color should I go for and look nice on my '00 TL Laguna green. Heres some of my choice in 18x7.5








I like first one though, they come in Silver,gunmetal and hyperblack color. Im thinking get gunmetal though and those are in 18x7.5 and how about will 18x8 fit?. Also im planning to drop with H&R sport. These rims max is +45 offset but the guy said it will fit fine .

I'd get the 18x7.5 with a 225/45/18 tire. That'll be the safest bet.

I like the first best then the second(like the deepdish), but don't like gunmeatal or hyperblack. Third one is ugly.

First ones look like they belong on a Civic, sorry but that's just the way I see it.

I'd pick the second ones in silver or the third ones. The third ones look a lot like Porsche wheels that I have seen.

P.S. Check out www.tiretrends.com, you'll save PST.

I like the 1st style the best. If you are going to drop, You need to stay with the 18 x 7.5 since the highest offset is a +45. You will rubadubdub if you go to a 18 x 8 with a +45 offset on a drop.

Go For It!!!

Yes, you will be ok with a 18 x 7.5 +45. I prefer the silver over the gun metal, but I have a SSM car. Since your car is dark, the gun metal may be better for you.....I would go with the silver....IMHO of course.

For tires you are limited to

225/40/18 = 0.6 inch too small but least chance of rubbing
225/45/18 = 0.2 inch too big
235/40/18 = stock size but may rub, especially on 42 offset
