That looks awesome. Now only if they made them wider, I would have bought them instead of the TT2's.

Glad you finally ordered them and put them on your car!

They look SWEET (but of course I'm kinda partial to the HPR5's )

wheels were 700 shipped. THey are 18x9's and x8's and I believe a 38 mm offset. I have hubcentric rings, but didnt see them helpting. They were actually further back than that face of the wheel.I really love the wheels, I just hope dont need to roll fenders, althought I am thining it should be done. Very happy with it. Was loooking at Hyper Darks, but they no longer made the darks. Nice looking and good quality wheel

wider doesnt give you traction, wheel and tire height does and either way i dont think i have the right wheels for you
