Default new wheels o_O

A buddy of mine just bought some fr500 wheels for his s2k and they came out bad ***. so i tried them on my car and really like the way the looked. Im considring buying them cause they offer good offsets and are pretty cheap. Give me you opinoins on weather i should get them or stick with the hiros. sizes are 18x10 +22 all around

I've always wondered how they look on the SC. They look great on 240s. I like them. It looks like 235/40? Or maybe 245/40

Not my cup of tea..IMO, a SC needs that Staggered fitment look but if you like them go for it!

I must agree with Rome on this one.Sc and Gs needs staggered set up
point blank.But if that what floats your boat go ahead and do it.

You can do staggered setups with the FR500 wheels. I was gonna pick up a set for my SC since my LS calipers are just collecting dust.

It would look even better with 15 or 20mm spacers in the back. It looks like it has room.

def agree there is room for more poke in the rear i wish they made them bigger in 18s but the biggest size they have for width is a 17x 10.5 but i think 17s are too small.

Not too bad for the price, staggered would be better but I would sell the ones you have now and rock those for now....I like them!!
