18x7.5 Wheel

[fkmp5]

I'm trying to find a set of wheels, 18x7.5 for my Protege5. I'm noticing the styles/brands available with a +48 offset are pretty scarce!!

Can anyone make any suggestions? I'm looking to spend $1500 or less. I would like something in gun metal or black and preferably with a polished lip. I would also consider silver.

fkmp5 - PM Rishie, He can set you up with a great wheel and Rim Set up. Also, look into the Rota group buy. Rishie is setting guys up with limited run Rotas downshifts (limited because they dont come in our offsets, he is having them especially made for this group buy).

Here is what they look like

They dont have the polished lips, but they look great, and should come in these colors.

Hope this helps you out.

In the meanwhile, if anyone else has any suggestions, please post!!

does it have to be 7.5 wide? i can get some 18x7

What size tire can I run on my P5 with 18x7? and what wheels are they?

it would be a falken wheel and you probably would go with a 215/35/18. they have 2 styles of rims and they come in silver gunmetal and chrome. the silver and gunmetal have machined lips.

i can do a little better on that price but not alot because we dont charge shipping.

Rota SubZero 18x7.5 +48 5x114.3 .. Black w/Polished Lip or Gun Metal w/Polished Lip..

Does anyone know where I can see a pic of those wheels on a silver P5? Also, any suggestions where to purchase them?

According to Rishie's fitment guide, I should be fine to run those wheels with 215/35/18 tires, correct?

okay, here is my photochop of Natey's P5 with his 17" Rota SubZeros, that I have made into a dark w/polished lip and also lowered.

I made it to answer my own post, but thought others might be interested to see..

Very nice P-shop. That looks great. Does Auto Rnd match prices?

www.jaydm.com sells Rota's as well as Mach 3, don't have the site though.

I guess that's a question for Rishie.. the site you listed has them for $590 SHIPPED in 18's.. NICE!
