okay i found some bbs lm's and work vs-xx replicas
xxr 521 http://www.nlmotoring.com/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDESC=N&ProductCode=52188147

i was going to save up and get the 17x7 +38 but they dont offer it in gold...
but the 18x8.5 +25 does offer in gold..
will them 18's fit my civic fine? once im lowered on road magnets or h&r sports??

here is 18x8 with a 30 offset /no drop

new wheels. g35 wheels 18x8 30 offset
front tires are running a 225 tire and the rears a 245. once i drop the car i will need to stretch the rear tires so i dont rub.

I'd use this comparison tool to see the difference in spacing.

yeah i seen his thread..
i might end up just getting the 17x7 +38 (just to be on the safe side cos im planning on dropping my car on either road magnets or h&r_

wat you guys think of gunmetal wheels on my black car? or any black ride?

 

[webby]

nothing wrong with gunmetal rims on a black car at all... at least I don't think there is.

 

[redsfan]

gunmetal will look good

 

[trung09]

lol thanks! any civic with gunmetal wheels?

 

[webby]

they look dark, but he said they are actually gunmetal in his intro thread

 

[trung09]
