the only 18's I've appreciated(not mine)...can't really see it but it's widened oem rim with 295(i think) in the rear, I'm trying to link the for sale thread in which I got these pics from but I guess it's too old since it's redirecting me to main classified section.

Not the best comparison, but here is a before and after shot

^they cut it right down the middle, add about 2" of barrel/rim, and then they weld it together. weldcraftwheels.com. Seems safe and durable, after all, some reputable aftermarket wheels are welded together.

the wide-ness looks good from the rear, but it seems like a hassle...you have to be lovin' the oem's that much to even put the effort and money into it like them, just my opinion.
