I really like it. It matches with your car perfectly.


Any plans on lowering?

Nah, no lowering plans. I'd probably have to roll the fenders if I did b/c of the offest on these wheels. Don't want to be bothered.

Still looks pretty ugly and cheap looking. Stock wheels looked better.

I think they look good, if the car was lowered, it would look perfect.

I do like the stocks better. But if you must keep these, at least lower it so they don't look any smaller than they already do. They don't look like 18's in the original pics.

nice wheels, but as is... the stock wheels are better.... if you could have gotten a bigger rim then it would be pretty nice but I agree w/ every1 else get it lowererd, then it'd be hot.

they look like nice wheels, but at stock height they look like 10's...take an inch or so out and they'd be sweet.

Not really a fan of the stockies but not a fan of those either. They look on the small side. An improvement IMO. I know everyone else said it but it would look even better with a drop.

Stockers look much better, even if the car was lowered. Rubbing on a 7.5" wheel?!?

I like the stockers better as well. I'm thinking something at least 6 spokes would look much better than these. Oh and just like most of the above...it would look MUCH better with a drop. If your new rims don't allow for that, sell them and put the stock ones back on.
Stock rims + drop > aftermarket rims + stock height

I like the stock wheels a little better, but these wheels could have been nicer with a bigger diameter and a drop. It looks as if you have the wrong tire size on it. The tires have way too much meat for a plus 1 sized wheel. Either way, the car is awesome, but think about doing an H&R oe drop that will reduce height by .75-1.00 inches. The car would look much better then.

The stockies are 18 inchers, and do look better, even though I find it has too many spokes.

A lot of hate towards the OP. If the OP likes his current set-up then you shouldn't worry about it. If you're satisfied with it, then that's all that matters. Oh and with the multispoke, been there, hated that.

If he likes his wheels but can't take criticism, then he shouldn't have made a post for everyone to see. Isn't criticism part of a car forum? If you can't handle it, don't post. Whether he likes his new wheels or not is totally up to him, but that doesn't mean that the people who don't like it can't post in this thread.

Your never going to please everyone, and people tend to be a bit more honest with their opinions online then in real life. In other words grow thicker skin

Where did I say I can't handle some not liking them? No one likes everything. I don't like some things people do to their cars so why would everyone like what I do to mine?
