Any recommendations on a perfect 18" wheel?

I am interested in a 1-piece (w/ lip ok) 18x7.5 wheel. Any recommendations? Budget is about $2k. They will go on an '01TL w/ H&R OE drop.

Thanks

Typically you will not find a 1-piece wheel with a big lip.

For 18s, I would go with the Axis Se7en

What kind of look do you want? Chrome? Silver? 5-6-7-10 spoke? Mesh?

7 spoke or mesh is fine. I like the Axis Super Mesh II but they only have 17s and 19s, no 18's. There are other knock off's 18's out there for $800 (set of 4) but I really doubt they are good. They bend too easily.

Formula Mesh from importhookup dot com are nice (and cheap). They are Volk knock offs, and come in 18 X 7.5 with a 46 offset. I would have bought them, but they did not have hyperblack in stock and I didn't like the silver. I'd only get the hyperblack.

It looks good. I wanted the mesh that will cover my nuts. I don't like exposed nuts.

Dude, be proud of your nuts! Don't hide 'em. Show 'em with pride!
