Not too many Sedans are low enough to pull off 18s properly, but Grant's old setup instantly comes to mind. I'm pretty sure he's riding even lower now. Grant was killin' it in 2007 with this setup, yes 2007, he's one of the OGs.

I'm planning on doing 18's again in the near future, but this time, i'm thinking 18x9.5 +5 or 0 offsets all around with 215/45's!

The above picture is 18x9 +30 all around with 225/45's.

And yes, my car is much lower now than in those pictures and i'm planning to go lower with the new set of 18's.

I have, the price on the wheels is only a couple bucks more (getting cheapies like the Rotas) but the price on the tires is what kills it for me. I get used tires in 18's left and right, but 19's are rare. And since i'm gonna run 215/45, 225/40, 225/45's i get tons of used tires in those sizes so i wont ever have to buy them. I already have a pair of each size! lol!

The Z 18's have spokes that extend to the very edge of the wheel so they appear bigger than they are. If they have a lip like my rotas or the wheels i want, they look smaller. But if the stance is right, it all looks good!

What are your thoughts on the Rota's? Im on the fence of shying away from them cause they copy but on the other hand they are affordable and you can get a specific look.
