I'm beginning to look at new wheels and I came across these - http://www.speedelement.com/im...d.jpg.

They have a guide on their site - http://www.ame-wheels.com/appl...1.htm. Will they fit on the coupe? I'm looking at getting them in black...if I'm reading it right for 18" they only come in 8.5 with a 45 offset, but there's also another listing under 'european cars' that has a listing of 8 and 8.5 with an offset of 40...

Any ideas?

mechedaddi has these wheels they will fit what size do you want and we can tell you the best offset to get them in.

+40 would prolly be the best option but +48 would work but +30 will rub if you lower the car.

I'm flattered and pissed at the same time that you would buy the same wheels I have lol. Ah well, it's life lol! don't forget to take pics if you do get them. Mines where special order from japan. took 6 month to arrive. They are 19x8.5 +40 offset click my signature for a bigger pics

I don't think you'd rub with +30 if you go 8.5width, but for bigger width i'd stay with +40 offset lol

^ I agree, +30 should be fine even up to a 9in width. The Eibach drop really isn't very severe.

Plus, they would look awesome with a lower offset as they stick out more

Ah, sorry haha...didn't know anyone else had them here. I saw them on an RX-8 and thought they looked pretty good...not sure if I'm going this route or not I do have a few others in mind.
