18x8.5 Roja Motegi I think its the formula 5 rims Gunmetal looking with a dirty polished lip
so what do you think??? too big and too wide......or just plain NASTY!!

of course imma clean the rims really good




here is the current state....

the 18's are to big for me (cant fit enough tire with them) but i really like the look of those rims.

oh man, i love me some mega-rim. Those look really nice. IMHO: they look better than the 7gen rims you got now. Little TLC and some paint, and they'd be rockin!!

I'm with Presure2 - too big but damn they look good! Do it and keep the GTS rims for everyday driving.

Dude didn't you JUST get new tires?

I like the look of 18s myself, but frankly having 17s on my own ride, I almost wish I had 16s - IMO they seem to be a happy medium between looks, performance and ride comfort. Those 18s look nice, so if you're going more on looks than sure, but be prepared to spend a lot of $$$ on tires cause they're spendy and your options are limited.

Ive got 18's but with a smaller width. I think those may be too wide. They look good though.

I love the style of the wheel.
We used to have 18s on mine with a 35 profile tyre, the ride comfort was hidious, wouldnt go back although they did look awsome.
But we have 17s on her now and she still looks good but the ride comfort is so much better.

yeah i did get new tires

but for the price im getting these for i cant go wrong



true true i am gonna keep the gts rims but just in case

personally the biggest i'd go is 17".
18" is a little too big.. you'd have to get lower profile tires (harsher ride), slower acceleration, and makes the stock brakes look even punier..

haha yeah i know no more spirited driving with others anymore

im getting these for cheaper than dirt cheap so i cant complain. i'll just use them for shows and gts rims for fun

Go for it. Those 18's gonna look real good on your celi.

you could have'em chromed and go for the VIP look you were after....

^^^Oooooo low blow HAHahaha. they're dirty though when i clean them up im sure i'll have that tire tucking look

VIP is too expensive for a college student in the country side i'll do it later

**installing them today** too bad my car is dirty so i dont think i'll be taking pics anytime soon

They're sick, but I'm not sure I'd want 18's. I love that design though, and I'm not even fond of 5-spokes.

ive just put 18s on mine and the ride qualitys ok thats on 35mm drop ive been fine having adults in the back too

you brought this back from the dead.

well the pics are in the multimedia forum the ride is ok for me with like 65% thread left HAHahaha on them Yoko Parada Spec 2 really really sticky tires.
