My new 18s

[NetGuy]

Hey, all

Got 'em on a couple of weeks ago, but nobody seemed to notice in the tire/wheel thread. My fitment here confirms the theory that +42 offset will rub, but it's really minor, even with a drop.

I thought they looked a little too big at first...what do you guys think?

I'm diggin' the deep polished lip on those man, nice. (2thumbs) Gives me some ideas for my black P5


BTW, those taillights look awsome...

Those look really tight on your car. Excellent choice!

Making me really rethink the 17" or 18" debate.

I like them, but I don't think they look too big. I find rims that go for the big lip look tend to look smaller because the spokes go in, my new 18's look huge to me because the spokes extend all the way to the edge ( no lip ). I'm not big on the ohhhh ahhhhh lip thing, but your car looks good. I'm intrigued by your taillights as well, the only thing I can see is around the white circles, is there a bit of red you couldn't paint over?

Roll the fenders, its worth it, I love taking 5 people around and being able to go full tilt around corners and over bumps.

Man those look really nice!!!
I don't mean to be rude but how much did the wheels and tires run ya?
Do you think that they would look good on a blue MP3. I was wanting a wheel with a lip and the center of the wheel in gunmetal. But those look very nice.

niiice i like em...i thought my 18's were sick until i saw an mp5 with spinners on em. Didnt have nothing else just them rims, i broke my neck so hard when i seen em. I know my handling is horrible specially when im on this one part of rt 130 (nj) my car just goes left to right right to left i gotta hold my steering wheel with both hands and its hard as hell to switch lanes. Scary when your between a mack truck. Happen to you at all?

pr5owner: The ride is surprisingly not bad. It's rougher, but I kinda like it. I haven't really been able to push it around corners because of the rubbing, but I'm sure it will be awesome.

03P5: That's actually not paint, it's black vinyl (like what they make decals out of). That stuff is surprisingly stretchy. I opted to leave the little bit of red around the white just out of personal choice...there's no reason why you couldn't do away with it.

MP3intheSTL: They ran me about $2200 CDN including everything

outONyou: The darting is not a problem at all. Again...surprising.

where did you get those

Those wheels are insane, did you buy those in calgary or online? I cant wait to see your p5 driving around calgary to see it in person, and your tailights are pretty sweet too.
