PIAA Super Mesh Wheels...
Hey I really like the look of these wheels. The weight is nice on em, 23lbs for 18x7.5 and 26lbs for 18x8.5. I'm lookin at gettin a set of the hyper-black ones, has anyone had any experience w/ them? Any pics would be great. I'm gonna stick with 18's and put em on my stock tires. I will also be dropping the car w/ an Eibach Pro-kit. What sizes should I look @? 18x7.5 F / 18x8.5 R ? I dont have brembos..

I was originally hooked on Volk SF Winning, but I've pretty much
decided on the PIAA.
For a Sedan.....
I'm going to go with 8.5 all arround. I think the 7.5 is too small.
I love the look of a staggered wheel setup with larger rear lip, but don't see that working very well with these wheel specs.
- The 7.5 offset is +48; too far inside, would need a large (10 mm) spacer to look right
- the 8.5 offset is +42; great for rear, may need 5mm spacer on front.
- the 9.5 offset is +38; While others have done it for the rear, I think it's too
far outboard (may rub depending on camber settings)
I'll most likely be going with 245/40 tires on all 4.
I'm considering a slightly staggered setup & may go 245/40 fr & 255/40 rr.
I don't want add more understeer & I like the idea of being able to rotate tires (with 245s all 4).
If I go 245~255 I'll go with Mich PS tires; mainly because
the spec DIA between the 245 & 255 are only 0.1" different.
Staying with 245 all 4 gives more options.
I've hunted for pics as well & haven't come across any good ones on a car,
but here's a good wheel pic of the hyper black.(too bad it's a 4 bolt)
