I think 18's are a little big for me personally, but they look good and the offset looks perfect. If you're putting a 225 or wider tire on it you'll be pretty close I'd think to the fender and might wanna remove the spacer.

I say go for it, Sportmax is fine for a daily driver that is sometimes raced.

If you're serious about racing I agree with RB20DETodd, but otherwise his "I hate wheels that look good and have good offsets because they're cheap and a little heavy" is his opinion alone and invaluable to anybody else.

I personally have mixed feelings, don't look bad, but 18x8 is kinda weak...if they are really that cheap then do it up though!

thats one thing i did not expect is folks to be so hung up on the 18x8 thing. 90% of the mesh wheels are only 6.5 or 7 inches wide, but the offset makes them look ill. these have a good offset, and i can rotate tires for wear instead of tearing through set after set of rears. oh well, to each his own, im pretty sure im gonna get them, and paint them black.

im having second thoughts on those, id need over fenders, or a massive roll and pull job. not to mention, the tire i would need to wrap them would be over an inch taller at the least.

the 18x9.5 is +35, the 18x8 is +32. 16mm further out. 22mm closer to coil.

I like the 006's. But there pretty similar to your current wheels, which looks good too. If your going for a change, go for the first Sportmax's. A little blingy for me, but good fitment and nice lip on em. With black face and a polished lip, those would be cool.
