SE-R wheels are definitely different from the rest, if nothing else.

Yes, you are correct. The 225 is the width measured in millimeters. The 45 is the aspect ratio of the tire, meaning 45% of the tire width, which in this case is 225mm. The smaller the aspect ratio, the wider the tire in relation to its height.

225 = width in mm45 = % of tire width

Just keep checking your local craigslist and keep your fingers crossed. They are very hard to come by so be prepared for a long wait

Nice, except for the fact that I do not like wheels that have multiple holes drilled for mounting....I like to have a lug to fill each hole

Some would say fake rivets are for "Chads" (Chad is a name i use for someone who is a.. well a chad!)

Also, check with the seller, there may only be 5 holes... my rims were pictured with like 9 holes.. but the actual wheel has 5....

Cool. It sort of looks like the VOLK wheels below. What size did you get? And what kind of shoes did you get?

Nice choice of tires. You'll love the Falken's!! In my opinion, the best bang for the buck tire out there.
