for some reason the 18s just look really small on our cars if the rims have a lip on them.

My winter wheels teaser. I'm tired of the OEM suckness, so I bought these Drag DR31 wheels (Work reps) so I can still look "fresh" in the winter. At the moment I am working on a new center cap for them.

They're 18x9+15 and I'll have 245/45/18 Goodyear Eagle GTs on them. It wont be until a couple weeks or so before Thanksgiving before I put them, so be patient.

Nice Offsets for an affordable set of "beater" wheels. I can't wait to see pics of them mounted

most wheels with a lip give the perception that they are 1-2" smaller than what they actually are. 20s with lips tend to look like 19s at first glance. when the G first came out with 19s and i didn't know it at the time that they upped to 19s, they looked like 18s to me. its just the illusion that comes with a lip.
