They have the same bolt pattern and Front:18 x 8 offset is 45mm Rear:18 x 8.5 offset is 50mm.

The Newer wheels come in a "smoked" Color.

well when i took my car to the tire center, they tried fitting the rim before applying the tires and they said the holes were to small and the only way the rims would fit my car was to get them drilled but its not recommended.

NO, the bolt pattern is different. The wheel will fit, but the bolts are a different shape. You just need to get the right ones, I fit wheels from an IS on mine and I needed new bolts. $10 at STS.

Yes, they are just cut differently. Maybe one is metric and vice versa but they dont fit!

EDIT: This should also be in Suspension Brakes and Tires forum FYI
