Well i get that but they means youre not looking at the entire rim .. just the face, right ?

I'm looking at how it appears. Its the reason if i get a set of 18s for the G, they will not have a lip to them

I wouldnt know .. look for a DIY on the forum or ask someone who has done it before. I'd recommend getting it powder coated tho..

Depending on what size you get, they're relatively light weight. These weighed in about 1.5lb less than my oem sport 18's and these are an inch wider front and back. I def felt the increase in performance with these coming from my heavy 20's i had before. Car feels like a totally different car and actually handles better with the 18's than it did with the 20s haha
