I Am Getting 18" Rims, Your Thoughts... Options

[95STCelica]

I'm getting 18 x 7.5 Paradyme F220s in about. I wanted your opinion on them. They are going to be chilling in my garage until I get my tires and springs from my parents as my graduation present. Let me know what you think and PM me for any more details if you have questions as to where and how much they cost...

[ghostdog]

18s will work fine. I'd recommend a 40 series tire if the roads aren't great in your area, but otherwise a 35 should suffice.

I dunno about those rims in particular; they aren't really my taste. But if you like them, thats all that counts.

[forkee]

those are pretty interesting wheels. i've never seen them on a celica b4. the spokes remind me of flare pants

[95STCelica]

The person that is selling them to me said for me to use 225/40/18...so does that answer what you said? BTW, i don't even like how those rims look in that picture, let me find another where there isn't all this light shining off it...they look a lot better in these...

Those do look much better on a car. I think they look awesome on that Eclipse(Which is a pretty nice Eclipse too.)

[boosted_K2]

EDIT: NM! i see it now, wow they do look hella better on the car.

yeah i know, i told the owner, change the picture, it looks real bad. i told him to post the pic of the silver eclipse, it looks so hot...i guess there was a bad flash, they are silver -- not chrome

yeah, the rims look fine. go ahead and get them.

... but make sure the 225/40/R18 tires will fit without rubbing. I don't know of anyone thats fitted that exact size, so just a word of warning.

my thoughts exactly

Hey I got 18's on mine, thise rims will look great on yours because it's silvers and all. Although I gotta warn you if you go with 35 series, they are a pain to drive in because they are tooooo delicate, any wrong move on a dip on the road and your're gonna dings your rims. Trust me I know from experience, I would go with 40 series I just waiting till my tires wear out then I'll finally be able to get them.
