New Shoes to replace my bent rims

here are my new rims. Enkei Bortex 18x8





I was fine with my old set but I hit a pothole and cracked one of my rims.



The rear kinda rubs though

lol oh nice rims mrdaz. What kinda tire size are you running? I got them for $540 on craigslist with nearly brand new toyo proxes. But the toyos are super wide, 245/40/18s. I have to swap out my tires from my old rims before I can lower it. Rears kinda rub. Do you mind posting pics of your rims bro?
