So I finally received my wheels, they should be going on within a week, whenever I have time off work. Here's a quick preview of what we're dealing with.

They're 18x8 +30 offset gunmetal... anyone guess what they are?

Quick tease:





edit: these things are so intimidating just sitting at home ( i don't have time to get tires on em yet cuz i currently work a $hitload)... i started taking more pics to cope:

lol thanks guys all the responses are EXACTLY what i expected!

haha... yeah they do like like grams but nope... these were cheap cheap cheap. I was originally gonna go for the axis hiro's but instead i invested the cash elsewhere.

they're actually MB Weapons. They're A-tech's rebranded for discount tire. paid like 700 shipped for em so i'm satisfied. We'll see how it'll look once I get em mounted, I'll post the pics.

and yeah they do look small in the pictures. I really wanted 19s but I couldn't find a set nice enough to my liking looks and price-wise, so I went with these.

all of these responses are inside jokes for folks that have been on the forum for a while... we don't all think the rims look like crap... well I do, but maybe not everyone else.. ... no seriously, Sacky knows we're just messing with him,and he knows he had it coming!!

The rims in my sig are 18". So believe me when I tell you from experience that they are just too small for the coupe. They have to be 19"s or 20"s to look good. Nice choice though, just too small imo.

I thought you liked 5 spokes.

yeah... i do love 5 spokes - but unfortunately after hours upon hours upon hours of deliberation i concluded that 5 spokes don't look all that hot on the coupe because it looks too....bubbly(if that makes sense?) and it sits a bit too high. Now 5 spokers on low car like a z32tt (*drool*) is where they look best at. That's why I went with the 7 spokes - i think it makes the car look better as a whole.

here's a question:

any issue if i get 225/40/18 tires? They're gonna make my wheel diameter go from 26.2 to 25.1 and they're a bit cheaper than 225/45/18 which is closer to oem spec. but would being more than +/- 3% off spec make any serious problems? i don't care about speedometer/odometer reading or mpg.

Nice color! Really clean.

thanks for the compliment!

i believe they weigh 23.5lbs each which isn't too bad. anyone have any idea how much the 2.5s oem alloy wheels weigh?
