Nice looking wheels, think you could throw one on a scale to check the weight?

These are sick looking wheels. There is a guy that has the silver ones on his VW R32. They look very expensive for not being too bad.

I recommend 275/40R18's fills the opening better than the 35 profile.

I agree. You can't go wrong with a 40 series tire.

go with the 40 series , the ride is much better, and they wont rub up front after you lower it.

I like them on the front, feel like they could be a bit wider (and therefore more concave) in back.

I agree. Concave wheels look great, but the degree of concave needs to be more. These wheels look nice, but the more concave, the better. Kind of like more lip. Not a bad thing.

I absolutely love the wheels, and they look MUCH better in person.

As for the rear of the car, I'm thinking about getting some hub-centric spacers.
Just to push em out a bit, what do you guys think?
