Because not everyone wants a 'stanced' 86....
Apart from being knock off rims, that offset in my opinion looks pretty clean on that car.

I bought 18x8 +42 because of the areas that I have to drive around, so having aggressive offset wasn't something I was willing to test.

Who knows, 'weak' offset may just be something that stands out from the hella flush crowd....

yep, for all the reviews available it seems a shame that many people still don't quite get it....

CTS wheels might not be the most "original" design, but given the amount of fan-boys reppin Rotors and so on, its hardly even a topic worth discussing.

They are light enough and known to be reliable. Im just perplexed as they have offsets that "fit well" on their target market cars, then they release their GT86 specific wheels in something a lot more conservative...

Im hardly a hella-flush type, but all these 18 x 8 + 48 whatevers isnt inspiring...

i believe the CSTs are lighter than the MBs . wide and low offset models seem to only be available in 5x114 , i didnt even know they had these available in 5x100 at all until this thread lol. Love these wheels

if weak offset is standing out from the hellaflush crowd... then almost every owner on here is "standing out".
you can still run aggressive wheels without being hellaflush... look at the autofactory 86... aggressive with meaty tires and the car looks amazing.

cars running x8 +48 just look boring.. and cheap.. imo. Like wheels werent even thought out.

The name of these wheels??

Hi guys I am pretty picky when it comes to wheels and haven't found anything that looks good. Does anybody know what these wheels, or something similar to them, are called? The pic is in the attachment and they are in the top right of the pic. Thank you!
