wide large offset wheels... show me what you got and tell me what they are... im looking for reasonably priced ideas but keep running into small wheels... im looking for something that i can use to throw some 275-285's in the rear if i want to... :1zhelp: i know reasonably priced is a crappy way to say it but id rather spend more on other things like a suspension than wheels..

Here is the set that I just bought. Haven't installed them yet because my car is stripped to bare bone for a complete interior/exterior overhaul over the winter. I bought 2 of the 18"x8.5" on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a 35mm offset for the front and 2 of the 18"x9.5" with same bolt pattern and offset for the rear. For tires I bought 2x BFG g-Force T/A's in 245/40ZR18 and 2x 275/35ZR18 for the rear. LMK what you think. The total bill including shipping was $2,600cad or $2,200usd

Here's the link for the wheels:

Theyre very nice... i like the g-force wheels.. expenive though and i was considering 17's over 18's.. a little less unsprung weight and a little less $.. i dig ur choice though... well done

Racing Hart Rev, 17inch, IIRC they are 9.5 inches wide on the rear. Unfortunately I have no clue what the offset is, I wasn't concerned because they came off a Mk3 when I bought them, so I knew they'd fit. :)

If you want, search for my username in the showoff gallery, I put up some pics a while ago. Everyone hates the style, it's grown on me to the point where I'm gonna keep them (but still somewhat in part to that nobody would buy them...). I am far far too lazy right now to search myself. Sorry.
