I'm tossing up for a new set of wheels for my mk2 xr6 turbo.Currently I'm looking at these:However I'm unsure of how 18 inch rims will look on my car. As currently she's sitting on black twistys. What is everyone's thoughts/opinions on going with an 18 inch rim on an fg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I look at her and I love how 19s look, not too big but not too small. I was thinking of getting them with an offset to make them flush. I like the style of these but the part that stands out for me is the width and the weight of the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have any more photos you can post up mate? Also, what's the best offset to get the wheels flush with the guards? I don't wanna "poke" just a nice flush fitment. Even the factory offset sits in too much for my liking. Edited 13/09/14 12:00 AM by SLY270 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantlobster Donating Members 95 Member For: 16y 4m Posted 13/09/14 03:23 AM Share Posted 13/09/14 03:23 AM been looking at these and quite like them. be careful if you put 18x10 at the back you may have trouble with the rear suspension bolts depending on the offsets. if you push it out to clear it you may then have to roll guards or run stretch..... 19s and 20s dont have this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
