Question To bite or not to bite, that is the question?

Ok so I saw these wheels being sold and I'm kind of interested. What do you guys think?

18" Chrome Lexus IS350 Rims
18x8.0 Front w/ 45mm Offset
18x8.5 Rear w/ 50mm Offset

What I liked about these rims is that they're 18's but the way they're made, they look a little bigger. I'm not too big a fan of chrome but I like how they're not too Cadillac Escalade/Impala-ish, if you catch my drift.

They're $600shipped-Rims only.

^Now those are NICE! Classy, but not overly subtle either. Quite a turnaround of tastes.

cutting it too close, those are too low of an offset to not rub. 38mm offset is the lowest you can go with an 8.5" wide wheel, and at that point, 235 is the widest tire you can run without rubbing.

hha you guys are funny
haha ok so Volks, DPE's, and iForged....:laser: to my budget haha


Ok So i was looking into these 19x9's Konigs with a Forged structure and 40 offset. Weight is 21lb/wheel and I think they would looks kinda good because they would kinda contrast with the car? IDK haha what do you guys think?

IMO, gold only looks good on white....i'd get gunmetal or silver wheels on a black car. Or chrome if thats your thing ( i hate chrome wheels with passion though )
