I don't have any pictures yet, as soon as they arrived from UPS, I went to my friends place so we could throw them on. The Lugs are VERY different, its very strange. The Rim's are very sweet looking, especially with the Gunmetal color with a Polished Lip against the Silver. Its sexy, yes. The 18"s don't rub at all, side or top. Though I thought they would fill up the top-end of the wheel-well a little more, they don't. Overall they have great size in the wheel well, my car still needs lowered at least an inch. If someone knows where and whats good to get as far as lowering springs and whatnot, I could use that help.

Also, for those of you with that Vibration in the Car/Steering Column, I have always had the same problem. After I put the Rims on, I blasted to 100 without a vibration! A must cure for those of you with unbearable vibration!

I'll get some pics soon. tongue.gif

Very solid my friend. Come spring (April-May) I'm looking at putting 17s maybe even 16s due to budget costs. Anyway, do you have a picture of the gunmetal? I'm looking at getting these (I've got a silver car also):

Also, what tires you put on?

So do you have lowering srings installed already...and still have a gap? Are you saying you have lowering springs already and still need it lower? Excuse my ignorance...

congrats Jason, I cant wait to see some pics.

are the rims you bought the "Volk LE-37T" you mention in your sig? or are they the Velox rims you posted about a while ago? regardless, gunmetal rims with a polished lip are HOT, especially on silver cars.

No I didn't go with the Volks, I haven't changed my sig yet. They are Arospeed RS-GTs.

They may well not foul the wheel wells at the moment but if you lower too much they could, especially if you hit a pothole, anyways enjoy the 18's
