Should have gone with 18x9 all around but still looks great man!

bgibbsunc · 01-30-2013, 02:59 PM

18x9 sold out everywhere. Plus I think 18x8 is just more functional. Im not going for looks more performance for autocross hence my expensive ass suspension. And as far as the anodized red fading that is true especially under this hot tx sun. Im prob going to get it stripped and painted once it starts to fade. Honestly im not 100 percent sure its anodized. It really looks like a candy paint up close.

Didnt get them from Dynosty. They are sold out in America not to boast but I got the last set available because someone returned them because they want the 18x9. They are supposed to be back in stock end of march.

Okay, first of all I love the look. Miles ahead of stock in terms of concave wheels go and filling up the gap. I do hoever feel less confident going through back roqds roads than with my almost bald stock tires and wheel. I dont know if thats because of the height which increase because I had 17 before with an eibach pro kit, then switched to 18 which lost that advantage. Probably has to do with the tire I got as well, which is the hankook s1 ventus 2 all season(much better ride though). Anyway, I see a little poke and just wondering how I would make it flush?

Shenks · 03-29-2014, 01:42 PM

Also have one other question. I know stock is 215 45 17, so if I move to 18x8 from 17x7, is 225 35 or 40 or 45 the closest? I also noticed with my current setup, based on my phones gps versus speedo, there is a - 2 mph off.
