i really like that spoke pattern. i think it looks the best on the 8. if you dig the red stripe, those will look tight. is your car bb? get a 37 or 45 offset and you'll be fine.

I like these wheels a lot, but I've heard with the 8 inch wide wheel there is almost no concavity at all. Just something to think about. They're still a nice looking set of wheels however

18x8 is pointless, try to get something ATLEAST 8.5" wide, try for 9.5

Offset 37 would be nice

^Agreed, my first pair of aftermarket wheels were 18x8 +45, and although I liked them better than the OEM wheels, they just did not stand out. So I switched to 18x9.5 +45 and they look much better, and stick out alot more causing them to look much more aggressive.

^^Those will be way better than the 8's with +45 thats for sure. Put at least 245 rubber on them as well Awesome looking wheels too, Tenzo has a pretty cool new lineup.

Guys I know this is a noob question. But does anybody have some pics of the 18x18.5 wheels on their cars? I would to see what they look like. Do they stick out a little from the body of the car or is it flush......

8.5's are just a tad wider than the stockies, but it will drastically help fill out the fender. A flush fit is around 9, and to stick out a little bit is 9.5

What really matters is the offset.

I think 18's only come in 8"

19x10 +22 all around will sit nicely, and look badass.

Gentlemen good news. I called the place and they say they can get these rims in the 18x8.5 for like 757 bucks. Shipping cost is about 25 dollars per wheel and if you want tires with them its around 1,050. Which sucks because the tires I just put on were a grand.
