Looks like they belong on a BMW/Lexus, but still look good.

Those look really good. So do the other ones posted. Great to see something different.

I'd consider getting them if they had the proper bolt pattern.

Thanks alot guys. I was looking for something a little different when I decided not to keep my Z06's. As far as bolt pattern, I know a few guys running 5x120's for auto-x and they run ALOT. Never any issues with them, mine bolted up fine and she rides smooth as butter.

I like the rims and the 40 series aspect ratio size on the 18's. That's the look I am going for.

I'm sure it's probably fine, but it's something I'd be nervous doing. It definitely gives you way more options which is refreshing to see.
