I actually just bought some MSR 18x8's last week. Black with a polished lip, 245 Falken tires. Im really happy with them, handling is great- there is a noticable difference in accerlation, easing first and going wot around 3000revs dosen't have the same bite. Overall Im very happy with them; MSR 044's if you wanna search them.

More weight then stock rims = UGH!

I wish there were lightweight rims that actually looked really good. Most lightweights are REALLY conservative looking or just plain nasty.

Thanks yea'll, for the input. Well u think it will miss up my performance in a dramatic way?? for example how much torque would i lose 2-5wtq?

i was also thinkin of some 245/40's but, i might just do 255/40..

Ya i have 18x8.5s on my car and in the front they stick out a little but they look good, it really doesn't bother me much. for me it really didn't hurt performance wise I went to the track on my stock rims with new tires and i ran 15.34 best and with my 18's i ran a 15.37 on brand new tires on those. idk y it was this way i did that a year apart, could be that i got better at driving, im goin to the track here in the next month with my stock ones again ill tell you what happens

It looks like they stole the outside rivets off of a bike chain. They're ok.
