OEM+ is the way to go. CPV35, 3rd gen, IS350, etc. I'd love to get one of those wheels if my car was dropped.

and i hope you have a set of winter wheels too.

i'm glad you got them for a good deal man. but honestly, from my experience - being able to get something for a good deal shouldn't be a mental green light to pull the trigger. believe me, i've purchased way too many things in the past based on silly logic like that and it sounds like you are asking for justification on the boards because you too are on the fence of whether or not to keep them.

So enough of the serious part of the comment... on to the original thought I had in mind when I saw the wheels - "i would only rock those wheels if it came with a matching grill for my next rap video."

I wholeheartedly agree. I see on Craigslist many 18's I can have for a "great deal" but would rather keep the 17's stock than get an ugly set of rims just bc it was a "great deal" I am holding out for OEM 18's w/ tires for 300 Bucks I would say that if you are the least bit unsure, DONT BUY 'eM. You will spend more money later getting the ones you shoulda got in the first place.....jus my $.02......because you asked......

Don't like em. Sleepy408's car looks real good on the stock 18's, not better than with the 20's but i would go with the stock rims before going with the ones you have. I'm sorry if it comes a bit harsh, but those rims are too blingy for that size. GL Oh BTW, would 19's be an option??

You know how bad 880 and 101 are on some parts. I commute 150+ miles just on the weekend to see my family.
