18's FO SHO!!!!

When i first installed a set of 17" rims on my car, I was somewhat satisfied with the appearance with my car. I always felt that 18"'s would do the car justice as far as look are concerned. Well, this past weekend i mounted a set of 18" EXEL TZ-10's on the max. MAN OH MAN!!!!! They sure brought out the beauty of the car 10 times more the the 17" wheels did. I understand that everyone financial status varies, but if your planning on a wheel upgrade, shoot for an 18" wheel. You'll be happier with the appearance. But no matter if you have a 17" or 18" wheel set up, KEEP THOSE 3RD GENS ROLLING!!!!

Unless I get some 18" Volks or SSRs, 18s weigh a ton. Too heavy for me

Well, they came off his 3rd gen, so I'm guessing the offsets are cool. As for the BBK clearance, that's a crapshoot.

I have 18's and drive on the freeway every day as well as some crappy roads, and haven't had any problems.

Here are the one's that i got:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEBWN%3AIT


I like them they are really good and they are light too i think is 27lbs good for 18 inch rims. I don't know for sure, but for the price that i paid for them i got a hell of a deal, and it was fast shipping too. Im not sure if this guy is selling anymore rims, you should check him out a good seller on ebay though. I had these for a while and still haven't put them on my Maxima. I need to put my control arms on and the drive axles, and then an alignment and replace two wheel studs, then finally i can put these on and i can't wait. Just been in desperate need for cash. Oh if anyone that lives in the DFW area wants a bad *** 300zx. It's a 1990 Gs coupe, hit me up. I need money and im letting her go for cheap, say 1600 obo. If you are interested give me a pm and i'll give you more info. Thanx, but yeah i like the 18's i got some nice gunmetal 17's on the Z right now, paid 300 for those brand new off of ebay too.
