Considering getting some wheels, what you guys think of these?

http://www.dtmpower.net/pictures/whe...N_Dscn4099.JPG

SSR GT3s, light wheels. Very expensive though. $529 a pop.

18x8.5 is my size planned with 245x40z18s. Would look tight on my max, but wonder how the ride is going to be!

Wish I saw a pic of these on my max :P

I think those wheels are sharp. I like the GT1's a little better (personal preference though). The ride should be fine. I have 19" and springs and there is not a real noticeable difference. Granted you feel things more, like the reflectors in the road, but with that 40 series tire you should be fine. I say go for it!

I like how the Nakayama "Speed Star" (<~ according to wheelmax.com) looks. but theres a couple of things i dont like about em..
they come in
18x7.5
instead of 18x8 so i figure the offset would be kinda high like 42? and the package for tires they give are:
215/35/18
-Falken
or -Toyo

I've always liked the SSR GT1s. I'm not too much of a fan of rivets so I don't like the GT3s. But since they are pretty much one in the same, then the GT3s are kick @$$ if you can afford them.
