oem 18 rays????

i have a friend u just pick up some 18's that look exactly like the 19's rays. they have been powdercoated gunmetal with a polished lip. the guy he bought them from said they were OEM. could this be true?? cuz i know the from 05+ they added the 19 rays on the sport coupes, but when did they get 18s??

Sedans never came in Rays forged wheels. The design is the same as the coupe 19's, but the sedan ones aren't forged so they are several pounds heavier than the coupe 19's. It's available if you get the sports package.

Sedan sport 18s look much like the Rays 19s but are cast, not forged, so they are heavier and not as strong. But they still look good!

Yep OEM Sedan 18 sport rims from 05+ are the look alike Forged 19s.

But they are not staggered. They are the same size rim all around.
