ebay is seriously your best bet. I just picked up a set of 17/18 polished for $600 shipped.

I will tell you this. I've heard some bad things about the company, but not enough to out weigh the good things.

My wheels were NOT clearcoated. I'm a little aggrevated about that, but they still look great.

OE. Here's a quick shitty pic of them. I'm happy with the finish and what not and they are pretty damn light to be as big as they are.

Mine are AFS I love them. But why only 17's I got my 18/9.5's wheels tires mounted and balanced for $1250 shipped. The 18's look alot better than the 17's IMO

Sweet man. Do you have any more pics of your car? It's hard for me to find pics of a TA w/ 18x10.5/17x9.5 like I have.

Just thought I'd throw in that I also ordered my wheels from OE Wheels in Florida. I am happy with the shipment and quality. I have since read some really bad things about users getting screwed though, might want to read up on it.

Yeah I also read that. My wheels LOOK very nice and seem to be very nice quality, but I haven't mounted them on tires yet. I just hope I don't run into any issues once I try to balance them and what not.

Damnit! Well to be honest with you my main concern was the rear. I'm sure since you bought yours from OE as well that you have 18x10.5 with a 56MM offset. I was just trying to get a general idea of how far the wheels stuck out/in and from your sig pic they look like you have them out there about flush with the fender. Are you running spacers?
