Main thing is that you like 'em....that's what matters! Post pics when you get them mounted.

I can't wait to see a pic of the wheels installed. I saw them on a black 2dr.V6 accord and it was tight , i can only imagine on a cl. These rims are simillar to yours.

Those are some nice wheels, but...DAMN!!!! that is the FUGLIEST "PhotoCHOP" job I've ever seen!

It's all good though, because you have a tight program! You'll eventually get really good at it, just keep practicing.

just curious, why didnt you spend a little more on a rim where you wouldn't give a shiat what anyone thinks...if I spend 1500$ on some rims, yea im gonna be wondering if people like them...if I spend 3G's+ on some rims, i wouldn't give a fu@k what anyone thinks...see my point...i like them, just think you should have gotten a higher offset rim with another inch diameter...Shyne

well, these rims werent exactl cheap for me...

i spent around 2100k u.s. for just the rims, and with tires and canada taxes its gonna come to around 3k u.s. for the whole package.

I really cant justify spending more on rims for this car, since i cant go with 19's.

BTW, I love these rims, i am just curiuos what others think, in my city, nobody has **** like this, so people here are gonna love these...

besides theri good quality, M.H.T Driv Mach 5, 18x7 42 offset

and the offset is high enough.

the amount the rim will stick out is equivilant to a 18x7.5 with a 48 Offset....so i dont know what you mean when you say i should have got a higher offset, i thought that was normal

higher offset/wider wheel...you want tuck if you are gonna drop...you dont want it to eye up to the fender wells...you cant just say that 7.5 rim w/a +48mm os is the same 7.0 rim w/a +42 os...Its not the same, its all about how its gonna perform for you...You have a drop, im assuming wider tires, and wheels which are gonna stick further than the stock...So you dont know what will happen man, good luck though im sure it will work out for you...boro daha con...Shyne

ahhh..i see, sorry i dont know **** about this stuff, but i'm learning every day

the reason is i said its the same, is cause, with this calculator http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

according to that, a 7.5 with 48 offset will stick out 13mm more than stock, and a 7 inch with a 42 mm will also stick out 13 mm more than stock.

So is this info wrong, or am i just confused here...thanks for the help bro
