    i like them but a few things i would try and find first, if you can get them wider to have bigger tires and two how much tho weight, i have 18's and they aren't even chrome and will those on i run .3 slower in the 1/4. think about that. I would buy them buy in a way i wish i had gone 17''s but you get beat the look of 18's on a dropped car, check out my website and let me know what you think.

      thanks for the reply man, and i agree with you that I wish I could get them a little wider, but o well, there still wider then my 16x8 stockers. I was planning on getting 17x9 SS rims for the longest time but when I saw these I just had to have them. And at this moment in time I can deal with the possibility of goin a little slower in the 1/4, its not to big of a deal to me right now since i have a whole lot of other things going on and speed isnt a complete issue with me at this point. Also are 245/40/18 a good size tire for these rims? or should I try to get a little wider?

        get forged 18's and they'll be lighter than stock. wider is better for the contact patch.

            those are some good lookin wheels...if i were you i would get atleast 255 wide tires...they are half an inch wider so might as well use it to your advantage...
