nice setup, although i myself am not a fan of stretch, but you sir pulled it off nicely. The black wheels kind of disguise the stretch so its not real noticable until your upclose.

What size did you go with? And why did you choose their standard matte black? I could barely make out the design..

Thanks! The last 2 pics are after I adjusted my coils.. Wish I could go lower but it wont be practical

18x9.5 +22. Just wanted black wheels to go along w/ my black roof. I know I don't HAVE to match the roof, but I wanted a black/white combo. These may not be permanent, i'll prob look for something less aggressive in the fronts

I have the same exact size offset and tires on my Honda Accord Coupe.....18x9.5 et 22 225/40/18....what suspension are you on currently and do you rub any? I am getting rub on medium bumps I am hoping to get my coils installed soon to help with the issue.....fenders rolled be next week in the rear at least. Also are you running any camber?

nice! I wanted to slap these on my gf's black 03 coupe. shes lowered w/ smoked headlights lol but afraid it'll rub forsure on hers.

I'm on megan coils, no fender roll, no rub! I didnt adjust my camber from when I had it aligned.. so it should only be around -1

Oh I see the adjustment in the last two pics...Puurrrrfect! I totally relate to the driveability thing too. +1 for another guy that likes the stretch.

Wow, that's a hell of a stretch. The wheels really bring out the black roof-well done!

Normally, I'm against replicas & was originally against Varrstoen. But, I give these guys major credit. They make sure they are nearly unrecognizable from the originals, whilst still making them a high quality product. Needless to say, very fond of this company now.

Car looks amazing.

That's one hell of a stretch! you might want to get some slightly wider tires esp on the back with such a wide rim. It doesn't even look like it's sealing properly, one pothole and you could seriously damage the tire and rim.

I agree with you guys too, I'm normally not a fan of stretch, I love the idea of running at least a 255 tire, but I love the look of these wheels and they arn't available in less aggressive offset/width...

but my next set will definitely protect the wheels properly

Looks good, How does it ride with the slight drop and larger wheels? I'm sure it's a rough ride, but how bouncy is it? What suspension setup did you use?

Looks great! And, that's all that matters. I hate the idea of reps too, but would we really get the benefits from the originals anyway? I don't think of it as if you were trying to look like you have different rims, just that you like the look. - From one rep owner to the next.

It took me over 4 years to decide what rims to buy for this car. Since it's a luxury car, my mods are based 100% on aesthetics. I drive to work, and I drive home. No track and no shows. I would have had to pay an extra $2k for a name and a finish I didn't want. AND, I would have to worry more about theft!

As long as you're happy! (positive connotation here)

Thanks man!
thats exactly how I look at it, i'm not a brand whore, especially when I have other more important things to spend my money on. (IF I was rich, thats another story) As long as the quality is there and won't break down after __k miles, it keeps me happy
