I'd go with #4. Somebody else just put 18" of those on their TL except they were silver instead of chrome. They looked tight!

I would get 1 but....

The offset is around 42 I forgot. I called up wholesalwheels up and they said it will fit but it won't. Its offset is lower than zenetti vega's.

#1; focal is horrendous. even the "carbon fiber" on the centercap is fake.

Sorry, I don't like chrome on Silver cars.

So #1 gets my vote cuz it's got less of a face.

Plus they look awfully familiar.......

I used to think Focals looked aight, but once i saw them in person i was really disappointed. I have seen two civics at my school, each with a different focal model. One silver, one chrome. I looked at them closely in person. The finish was really bad, the chrome looked like it would chip right before my eyes. Even the silver finish was really ugly. the yellow center is off and the carbon fiber looks like junk. sorry but i'd stay clear of focal rims. just my opinion.

Cool

I'd go with #4. But only in silver. Yeah, I'm a chrome hater! But, it's your car. If you like the chrome, more power to you. #4
