Where did you find those wheels? I like them, I think my fav. ones are the 2nd ones, the black w/ the deep dish. Got a link?

All these wheels are 18x8.5. Well the first starting from the top are do-luck double-six go to this site to check these out www.do-luck-usa.com. The second from the top are Veilside Andrew Evolution V check them out at www.veilside.com. Next are the Dazz RH JS check them out at www.dazzmotorsports.com. Next are Volk Racing GT-C check those out at www.wheelsboutique.com. The last ones are HRE 845R those are at www.wheelsboutique.com also.

18 x 8.5! I don't think those will fit unless you want to mod your fenders.

do luck, veilside, volk... you've got expensive taste I think that the veilside's would look so bomb, other rims that look really good on a 2g are racinghart's C5 in 18" when you choose be sure to post some pics I have a white 2g so this is what i'm saving for http://store1.yimg.com/I/hopup1_1801_6811892 http://www.hopupracing.com/5zproragnwh.html

18x8.5 will fit with the right offset. I have 18x8.5 on my car and i belive its a 43mm offset, though thats pulling from memory, i could be wrong. One of the issues you will run into with the 18.8x is weight, and tire rub. I really cant go any bigger then 225 tires or they will rub on my fender, possible the control arm. My suggestion would be find wheels similar in style that are 18x8 or 7.5 if you want 18s. Only thing i hate about my wheels and tires is that the tire tapers in from the lip of the wheel to the tred of the tire.

Those are nice. Try www.wheelmax.com before you buy any though! They have the lowest tire and rim package prices. Check out their specials!

Right now I'm either going with the do-luck or the veilside. these to are probably the most expensive but hey you got to pay to get what you like. right now i'm thinking though of going with 17x8 instead of the 18x8 people have been telling me that the 18 will mess with my gear ratios and speed read out. no to sure but they make a good point. if i go with the 17 i can drop my car all the way right now it's at 1.75 inch i want to go with a 2.2 drop. as soon as i get these wheels worked out i'm going to start working on trying to get in with a sponser. a buddy of mine works for apc now so he's going to introduce me to a few people.

Its all about the tire sizing. Go 225/40/18 and your speedo readout will be within 1mph of what is stock for the car. Go w/ 215/45/17 i believe and it also will be within 1mph or exact.
