thinking about 18" wheels

the wheels I want the get for the bird will only fit if I go with 18" wheels I was told, the 16*7.5 and 17*7.5. have incorrect offsetts. Anyone have 18" wheels on their thirdgen how do they look? Wheels I am thinking about.

Those are very interesting looking, never seen them before. I wouldn't choose them, but whatever.

Now for the offsets, you can change that by use of spacers. Most people just use spacers. Some people don't care altogeher!

If you get them, post a pic, I think it would be nice to see something different.

There is a 3000GT VR4 running around this area with those on it. They look good when its crusiing along slowly, but when its parked they are just sorta.. alright. But, its your car, if you like them, do it!

ah man....those things do not belong on these cars. I cant really say they belong on anything, but especially these cars...no. those things spell

ghe ghe ghe ghe ghetto dope....

If you got them, may I suggest customizing your car with those hideous chrome rocker covers and the chrome body trim.. including your fuel filler opening. It might look good to some, but I can tell you now, the majority of this board will tell you otherwise, and before you get upset, please remember to realize that you asked for our opinion... take care...
