Your current wheels are 8" wide so look for an aftermarket wheel that is the same width.

This forum contains many images of different wheel setups, search through the media sections or to get an idea of what you want.

Even our Marketplace under private classified isn't showing any great wheels in 18" for sale. If you're serious about keeping the 18" I suggest you check out comp wheels like Wedssport TC105Ns. This would be easier if we knew more about your G and how much you intend to spend. At least with 18" the tires aren't expensive when yours need replacing.

I was looking to spend around a thousand or so on a new or used set, and my g is a 2003 black on black 6mt with brembos and tinted windows. Also would you think it would be worth painting my stock wheels or would it be better to just get a new set

so why don't you buy a set of new tires w/ your rims and sell you stock. You'll get more money to play w/.

Have you tried the www.tirerack.com site? They have an app that shows what you car will look like with rims they sell.

Stock offset is 30 on the 18s, and that gives a few mms of clearance from the brembos. You're going to have to get a 5 or 10 mm spacer to clear the fronts.

Rears shouldn't be a problem, the caliper is much less wide.
