i havent been able to located some nice OEM 18's in my area (don't want to pay for shipping)...so i was looking at my car today and it was looking pretty dirty...the front wheels had a bunch of brake dust on them and they actually looked pretty good since it looked gunmetalish...i was wondering if any has any gunmetal OEM 17's? what do you guys think of this idea

 

that would look sweet, all you need is someone to powdercoat them

 

thats EXACTLY what i think too...you probably have a better ride in the 17's anyway....but i don't really know the cost for powdercoating it...or even where to ask for it...so..it would be nice if you can find out that kinda imformations and let me know =)

 

what about these

OEM offset, made by Atech (these are cast but they do forged rims, so I assume they arent the worst quality). the 17 weighs 16.9lbs, so the 18 wont be much more..

tempting and inexpensive

 

I'm with you, I want 18s but like the spokes of the 17. Dont want to spend 2100 for volks if I dont have to, albeit forged with a nice lip would be nice. But I also dont want to worry about theft with volks.
