don't get me wrong I like them. I didn't mean to say they were bad looking. but to me they don't look like they are 18'.


the design I like, it's just the size.

Yeah, 19's would have really changed the look for the better IMO. But they do look pretty sweet on that color.

whoa! those are nice!

TxRX8, that is probably the best set of wheels i've seen on an '8. nice choice.

i'm in the market for some wheels for my summer tires and these HP evo lightenings in dark silver would look hot on my sunlight silver. i saw on your "got my rims" that the TPS wouldn't fit. what have you done, if anything, to get around the low pressure light on the dash?

Dude the tpms DOES fit on these wheels. The dealership I installed the wheels at was to lazy to put 'em on! That really sux because I sold my OEM's with tpms after I found out that they would fit. Once again dont worry about the tpms.

**** yeah, **** yeah!!!

I got the 8's in front & 9's in the rear. I will use these for getting around when I DO drive (it sits a lot), and switch to the stockers when I go to the track. i don't think a staggered setup will kill my 'normal' driving handling....just want to try it out.

I should get them mounted tomorrow and let you know what I think after I've had them for a while. Tires are BF g-force KDW-2's. People say they are kinda loud, but handle REALLY well. Since I don't drive the car a lot, I don't mind road noise. I just hope the f-$#@s fit well and I can get my local dudes to put in the TPMS.
