People will stare or walk around my car when its at a gas station or stop light(especially when the tvs are on) The rims look great now, will look alot better with coilovers in a couple weeks. I love the lip on these wheels and the finish is triple chrome plated unlike my other motegi wheels from last year. The best compliment I recieved was from my friend who has 4 show cars, 2 of them have been in magazines and he wants to put the these wheels on his sl500.

ok,Im almost certain that im buying the dpk's
the rims are coming from rimsone.com and they are motegi DPK chrome 18"
http://rimsone.com/catalog/product_i...}19{6}74{11}73
Heres a better picture of the rims:
http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?i...DPK+%2D+Chrome
The wheels im getting locally b\c my uncles a dealer,and they are Fulda Cara Extremo;s. Its a german brand,made by goodyear. Ive read good reviews on it,and they are Zrated at 149+
the size is 225/40/18
heres a link to a review of them.
http://www.tyres-online.co.uk/tyretest/fulda.asp
So its gonna be $520 for rims, 115 for shipping and insurance, 40 for tuner lug nuts. and 510 for the tires with fere liftime balance,rotate, and flat repair, and also free mounting and putting the tires on. Total:1185 or about 1200.
What do you guys think? i will see when i put them on if i will be able to drop the car another inch without rubbing,b\c i checked with motegi and these rims should fit without any problems. Lastly i will get anywhere between 50%-35% tints,and im done.
So what do you guys think!?

I don't know ohio state laws, you would need to contact someone from your state police. For illinois you can't have tint in the front windows; so I didn't put it on my car for that reason. Also I don't have a front plate either(which is the only thing illegal on my car) but I have never gotten pulled over for no front plate. If I had tint up front and no front plate I think I would get pulled over alot more. I would go with a 35 or less tint because there isnt a point for a 50% tint.
