    Besides the fact that you copied my wheel choice for your car, that you should have posted this up about 4 sections. Later, QD.

    thank you.

    also what brand are those you have right now?

    they look an awful lot like the sportmax's (check out their site) if so just get the same rear wheels in the wider wheel.

    I think they'll look pretty slick. Definitely better than your current wheels (no offense, they aren't bad).

    With the Volk CE28Ns you can't go to a 18x10(R) wheel if you are going to lower it. The right offset isn't offered. And the front will hit hard enough to damage your front fenders if you are turning if you go wider than a 18x8.5. I had the LE28Ns on my FD, and they are only available in 18x8.5(F) and 18x9.5(R), if you are going to run staggered. Mackin is the distributor. See my avatar. Just sold that car this summer.
