Well anyway heres the guy i bought the rims off. I think they will look pretty solid on a sedan, Their 18 by 8 in the front and 18 by 10 in the rear with a 43mm offset all around. And from the pics they don't really even look like 18's if you ask me.

I bought the M45 OEM Sport Wheels, probably would have cost me $3200 at the dealership.

look very nice. but bigger is more sick. im going to spend around 3600 for wheels only - works vs-xx 19 gold. they cost a bit more here in middle east due to less demand and shipping from japan.

Wheels are not cheap. The set I want (and will keep on wanting) are just over $8k for the rims. Too rich for my blood.

Alright well they came in this morning. I ended up having to raise the rear due to not having my fenders rolled and im in need of a front camber kit. So my suspenion is pretty much messed up, ive got a crazy rake. Here are some pics i just snaped.

Those look good on the G but I think they would look even better if you had lower profile tires on them. You would then need to drop it even more to keep the same look. Less tire and more rim.

That's why I winded up getting rid of my GT-7's. I would have to be slammed in order to get the look I wanted.

I understand the look everyone is telling you to go for, but just remember to be practical, I love how those 18's X 8 turned out on your G, and It will look even better once you get the camber kit and rear suspension adjusted. I say nice buy ;]

Yea the tires they came with are massive.. IDK I think im getting used to the new look. The car looks much sportier and drives alot better with the 10's in the rear.. Rock solid past 100. I love the rims but the combination of the nasty neg camber in the front and the rear being jacked up is throwing me off.

I donno I think the M45 wheels were the perfect combo for your car I miss them and they aren't even mines but I understand changing the look every now and then too bad enkei doesn't have the M wheels in 10s...
