Wheels without spacers
I am tired of running spacers. Why? I just dont like them. Show some pictures of 3rd gens running rims without the aid of spacers. (Besides stock, although those are welcome because we all love thirdgens!)

Re: Wheels without spacers
Bradleyj8z28, I am in the same boat as you. I want to do a set of 18" wheels on my gta and do not want to use spacers. Hard to find info on 18" wheels that work without spacers on here. More than likely I will go with a set of fikse fm10's or ccw wheels.

Re: Wheels without spacers
Thanks for posting about the CTW Motorsports. I saw them on another post. I like them, but really want 18s and more styles. I found the Dark Stars which they make in the offset for our cars and make an 18, but at 500 dollars apiece just wanted to see if there were more options.

Sure you can get any of the 3pc forged wheels to fit, but they will run about $1000/each. Or you can get wheels that are "close" and get spacers to fit properly.
Keep in mind that these cars are at minimum, 22 years old, a point in time that most of these cars were running 16" wheels, a few wheels in 17" were available (like the Ronal Firehawk), but they never became popular. Fast forward 20 years and not much has changed, other than more modern vehicles coming from the factory with 17" and larger wheels and aftermarket support for larger sizes for those cars.
I know that Ridler makes an 18" wheel to fit, but it is TT2 style.
