2002 WS6 T/A needs advice on wheels :(
SO as an update, I decided on the MRR GT1's in chrome 18 x 9.5" with 40 offset. The car isn't cleaned up in these pics so excuse that but I think the wheels are perfect on the car, love them.
... WOW !!!! ... That looks fantastic !!!! Did you get those wheels off my suggestion i'm assuming ?? ... What size tires ?? ... If i remember correctly i thought MRR said the bolt pattern was the actual 5x120.65 right ??

The tires are Continental Extreme DW's, 275/35/18's and I am very happy with them too. I've never had as much overall stability and grip, wet or dry, on a street tire. Only tire with more dry grip were the Nitto 555r's, drag radials so thats obvious, but any other tire does not compare to how these feel that I have personally owned or driven on. They were not cheap but in this case you really get what you pay for.
Yea once I looked them up and found the right offset I pulled the trigger. They really freshened up the old gal and I'm extremely happy with them. This is where I got them and I think they were simply 5 x 120

... So did you notice anything off on the mounting ?? Did you need eccentric rings ?? ...
Yea I bought the rings below but besides that they bolted up nicely. I will say don't let the 40 offset make you think it will give enough room for the brembo brake upgrade because I was considering it. The lip pushes the spokes back to factory position if not a little closer to the brake caliper so the offset pushed the tire/wheel assembly as a whole outward a little and sits perfect now in my opinion, I am hesitant to add a spacer to push them out more. Since I don't road race I'll just stick with the stock style calipers because they work fine with the Hawk pads I use now anyway. Overall, the setup looks amazing and the wheel/tire combo sits perfect now.

Those look fanfriggintastic! I was looking at the same set with the black center. My car is black and I don't like a lot of chrome when it comes to black anything. The polished lip with the black center would be enough for me.
