Here they are guys. I think they actually look pretty good.

Bro, those are some freaking light rims, but I guess when you change tires, try change to tires with slightly thinner profile? coz I guess you are going with sth like 245/45/18 now? coz the tires look a bit too beefy ^^

Rims look nice and I'm sure they will serve your purpose nicely. In one of the pics I see a lot of weights so it makes me question the balance of the wheel and is that two valve stems per wheel?

Two valve stems for Nitrogen Fill. Racing wheels come with two normally.

The weights. They were done on a Hunter Road Force Balancer by Tire Rack. I have seen this many when done on one before.

The reason they look "beefy" is because 245/45 18 has a larger OD then stock. I also belive it would raise the hight of the car but do not quote me on this.

Here is a picture of my car with the same tires.


Picture with my current 245/40
