Good looking wheel, I like that it has a lip. Sure would be nice to see Firehawk wheels like that someday.

I talked to OE this morning & they do not offer a all 18 package yet. Only all 17 or a staggered 17/18 fitment currently.

I think these are the perfect CCW look alike. Well just about as close as you can get without spending thousands.
