Yes they are, well at least that's what the add says.

So yes, both sets will fit. But why not go bigger? You plan on lowering?

I dont think I will ever lower it.....what size would u recommend me go? 19's?

another reason for 18's cause I already have tires i can swap onto the new ones....

but i guess bigger would look better.

I think 19s lowered but, if you already have tires and no plans of lowering stick with your plans.

Do you have a sedan or a coupe? The offsets on both of these are pretty high for a coupe, which means the wheel will sit further inside your wheel well. I'm not sure what the stock offset is, so I don't know how they would compare to that. Also, 18x8 is on the small side. I have 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear. The rears look wide as hell and come right out to the fenders which gives it a very aggresive look. So, to answer your question, as long as the bolt pattern is the same those will fit, but if you have a coupe I don't think they will look right. Sedan - they might, but I'm not 100%

As far as looks are concerned, I don't think they look bad, but I'm not crazy about either one. Just my opinion!

My advice would be to keep searching for a wheel that as soon as you see it, you know you ll love it.. And i agree, if your going to spend the money do it the best you can the first time, If you want to save money by using your stock tires then go for it but those wheels wont have great fitment on your coupe.... my .02 cents. Go 19's

If you go 20's try and find something with an offset in the 40-50 range to be flush. If you not going to lower the car 20's may look like your riding a little high....

You need to find out exactly what look your going for to get some more specific and better advice you know ?

is the g your daily driver? if it is then maybe you should just stick to 18s. 20s to me would be too bumpy for everyday riding.

Those wheels look like the BSA 264, few members here have them for winter use

Go with some 19's then, it will give you better appearance without sacrificing ride quality too much
