those are 18s in that pic? They look small. They almost look like the Fiske FM5s. I am sure for the price they are pretty nice wheels. I say go with the 18s since the wheel looks so small on the car. 17s may look like 16s imo

I guess I was wrong, those are the 17x9. I think in an 18 they would look killer.

Those look pretty cool. I was considering them when I get money saved up for wheels. Id definitely go with 18"s though.

Now that i looked closer at the rims that 1992RS/ss, i think there different rims. Those seem to be the GT5 ones.. But the rims im talking about is called the American Racing 699 Rebel. This rim has a more of a lip to it. Here is the GT5 rims.

Maybe the one pictured at the top of the thread is a 18x10 or something, could be different offsets that make the lip look bigger in the top picture.

Yeah the 18's are 18X10 and the offset is 41. The bolt circle for this one is 5-4 3/4. Would this size fit my car?
