Convince me not to buy these...

College Hills Honda is having a clearance of their Mugen GP wheels:
http://www.collegehillshonda.com/hon...dan-wheels.htm

18x7.5, 48 offset.

I really like the idea of having a set of light-weight, forged rims, especially at this price, but the offset is a bit high (not flush enough to the fenders) and I definitely don't want to add spacers.

This would be going on to a CBP without any other mods and I don't really plan on lowering in the future.

Anyone else think that offset would look a bit weird for our cars?

maybe on a 7.5 rim but +48 offset is a common offset for the 2nd gen

Wow, that's a smoking price for lightweight Mugen wheels with lug nuts and tire valves (are they TPMS?).

Most of the 2G owners here with RonJon wheels has offset of 48, and they look pretty good. Remember the stock Enkei 17" has offset of 55.

If you like the colour, the price can't be beat.

IMHO, I'm trying to picture these on CBP and it isn't working for me, especially without lowering.

Still, each person has his/her own taste and if you like these, then it's an incredible deal.

you guys aren't helping much

I actually called to place the order tonight but they're closed for the day. We'll see if they still have stock tomorrow morning
