Can stock 18's look decent?

hey guys, I've got the stock 18" sport wheels and was wondering if anyone is running these with just a drop on their sedan. A drop is planned for spring and was just wondering if it looks half decent with the 18's or if anyone has any suggestions on colors to powdercoat them. I looked through the picture thread and couldn't find any 18" sport sedan's with a drop. My sedan is silver in color.
Thanks guys!

Here's a pic of my poor G up here in Canada dealing with the winter. I envy you shouthern folk.

WOW! that looks great! Would the black powdercoat look good on silver though? Looks sharp on yours. Also, How do you like the sportlines as far as ride goes. And, are you running stock sport shocks with them?
Thanks!

Thanks. Black looks good on almost any color. And, I actually just sprayed mine, no powdercoating.

The sportlines do ride a bit rougher/bumpier than stock, but its a sacrifice that I'm willing to make. And, yes. I'm running the OE sport shocks/struts.

^ever haul people in the back? Well, your tires are narrower than mine to, that would make sense.

Dude, your car is so hot. That i THE BEST color combo, on the 05+ sedans. IP/Stone with everything and a 6mt.

I want your carrrrr!!!

Gotcha. You should be running 225/40/19 and 245/40/19. But, the offsets are different than the 18" Sedan sport wheels, too.

I like the stock 18's.

I either want to pick up a set of them or the coupe 19's and call it a day with my sedan.

I had the 18" Sedan Sport wheels on my 05X and I loved those wheels.
