Since it seems almost everyone is asking for opinions on Wheels I thought it would make sense to put up a thread with photos of those of you who have aftermarket wheels. Obviously some websites have animated versions to try and get an idea what it will look like, but there is nothing like a real life look especially when it comes to choosing wheel diameter.
I think it would be beneficial to stick to a format so all info is provided.
Sedan/Koup: (Your Version)
Wheel Make: (Brand of Wheel)
Wheel Model: (Name of Wheel)
Wheel Size: (Diameter, Width, Offset)
Tire Make: (Brand of Tire)
Tire Model: (Name of Tire)
Tire Size: (Section Width/Sidewall Aspect Ratio/Diameter)
Suspension Modification: (Springs/Coilovers/Etc.)
*Side Profile Picture of Your Car*
*Stock Photo of Wheel*
*Stock Photo of Tire*
Comments: (Anything you have to say Pros/Cons of the Wheels or Tires)
Like I said, I think this will be beneficial to people looking to allow them to see different styles in real life situations.
Cant remember the ofset I'm trying to figure that out I'll edit again in a secondfound it...Offset: 42mm Backspacing: 5.66" Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire Size:215/45-17
Weight: 18.8lbs

Eibach Pro-Kit springs with a front 1.2" and rear 1.0" drop
I really recommend these tires if you can afford them, they're nice and sticky and do pretty good in the rain. They're a bit more on the expensive side unless you can find a really good deal like I did on eBay.

These are pretty old pics, I've done a few things since then. I'm waiting for a few things in the mail, install em, take new photos and enter FOTM. Then hopefully I'll be done modding if there's such a thing.

We need to see more wheels!
Im about 99% certain which wheels i'll be fitting but i'd just like to see if anyone has the same style wheels (15-20 spoke wheels )
@Jcaloon - post a pic(you're askin what people think, no pic)
I hope to post pics of my rims/tires in march. I'm getting 18X8 Enkei L-SR's with Nitto NT555's. They'll be 225/40/18s. Offset for these is +40, so i'm assuming it may tight. i've talked to 3 different dealers and they said it'll fit my car. even when i told em I have an Eibach kit on.
