Got screwed on buying a set of used rims...
Sold mine, so now I have to buy something for the summer...
Can't drive on snow tires & leaky rims all year...
So, here I am! Looking for opinions.
Keep in mind, these are 18" rims so weight matters. (Every Oz. Counts)
Also, since I'm lowered, 42 offset is safer than 40 & 45+ would be ideal. Stock offset = 52
If you post rims don't post less than 40 offset or more than 28lbs.
Looking for 18 x 7.5 - 18 x 9.5

Wheels:
1) Sport Edition ST4 Silver ST4 SIZE: 18 x 8.0 PCD: 5 x 115 OFFSET: +42 WEIGHT: 26.50 lbs
Maybe too plain, & not sure of the rivets...
2) Zinik Z18 Minardi Black Z18 black SIZE: 18 x 7.5 PCD: 5 x 115 OFFSET: +42 WEIGHT: 23.00 lbs
These have a large looking lip, still on the fence as for this look. Rivets are iffy...
3) Sport Edition Wheels KV5 Chrome KV5 Chrome SIZE: 18 x 8.0 PCD: 5 x 115 OFFSET: +40 WEIGHT: 24.50 lbs
I'm afraid of the chrome, after owning GM rims...
4) Sport Edition F9 Silver Painted F9 SIZE: 18 x 8.0 PCD: 5 x 115 OFFSET: +40 WEIGHT: 16.00 lbs
I'm not sure of this choice, I think the twist would be backwards on 1 side of the car
5) Sport Edition CD Wheels CD SIZE: 18 x 8.0 PCD: 5 x 115 OFFSET: +42 WEIGHT: 19.80 lbs
I think this is the most original rim for my car. I don't think I've seen one on a GP

Tires:
1) Nitto - INVO
Looks like a better all around tire. Great looking specs on the webpage.
2) Nitto - NT05
Friend raves about these tires. 4 track days last season plus street time. Still usable. (Track = Curves, not 1/4 mile)

Posting your used rims and tires as an option will be excepted if they meet the criteria listed above.
Thanks for looking, reading, & voting!!!

Sorry it was my computer. l think the choice number five for the rims will look great on your car and choice number two for the tires cause it has a more aggressive tread pattern.

# 3 or # 4

4 is hard to beat for the weight. #3 are proven to for sure look good on our cars!

i can't see the pics either, but i just clicked each link.

I really have know idea why I picked #1 (because I love chrome) but for some reason I think they would look good on your ride....

As for the tires...#1 only because I can't see anyone ever driving in rain with second set tires!!!!


edit....I fixed the pics....(also have know idea why the originals didn't work!!)

ST4's would look bitching on your car. The NT05's look nice, as well as the INVO's. I have a soft spot for Hankook K106's. those tires kick ass everywhere. Kind of noisy but they are directional so its expected. Also Riken Raptors are pretty bitchin tires.


The sport edition F9's are nice too. But would only look good if they came in RH and LH orientation.

I picked wheel 2 for the reason a black car with black rims look good imo. Tire 2 looks more aggressive and probably handles better.

I'm partial to Wheel 5 & Tire 1

The wheel because I think it's "original" and I like the black on black look
I like all the rims I posted, that's why I started this thread.
Really looking forward to others opinions.
The tire because it looks to be a safer choice since it's a daily driven car
I do think tire 2 is a kick-ass tire & I'll have to check out the others listed above

I wish I had PS skilz... I'd love to try these on, but not all on sites with the "see it on your car"
