Offset: +45mm
Backspacing: 5.94"
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire Size: 225/45-18

i'm a big fan of these wheels. there's a few-page thread already started about them, mostly talk about the color. the gunmetal is very dark and the hyper silver is more of a traditional gunmetal like the 3G Aspec wheels

well im considering using a 215/45-18 to decrease the rubbin but im looking around at less sporty rims and more luxury i just wanna keep a hint of sport in the wheel any suggestions of good companys to look at my budget is 1k for just the wheels.

okay so i found two more wheel styles they are both less sporty with the same specs ima go with a 40 series im guessing 35 wouldnt look that good. heres the first wheel


and heres my second choice i personally like the first better any opinions they both have the same specs as the first wheel i posted so they should fit fine. i think this one kinda looks like the aspec wheel on the 01 tl
