LOL...I know huh? Its for the best...the coat's been getting a bit ragged. When you are out here hit me up.

Hell...I dunno yet. Trying to get the $$$ together but this wedding is bleeding me dry financially right now. I know I want something black. I think black on the black sapphire pearl would look sick.

Default Show me some nice 18"
bought a set of 19" last year, never got a chance to install it...

now that i have a baby, wondering if 19" is feasible. I recently switch seat with my wife, so she is driving, and i am on the back seat with the baby, surprisingly, the back seat is no where close to the front seat in terms of comfort level. especially the middle "seat", i almost want to throwup after 20 mins ride so 18" or i will stick with stock

Here's a few nice 18''s that come to mind:

OEM 08' 18"s in Liquid Graphite
OEM 18" G-Spiders
Volk CE28
Volk TE37

Oh, and my personal favorite, Work Emotion CR Kai:

So, show me some nice looking 18"
I've merged your thread with another that covered this same topic - it's the closest thing we have to an "18 inch aftermarket wheel owners thread."

Totally satisfied with these wheels. They clean real easy and they still look new!

I'm using 18x8.5" +38 fronts and 18x9.5" +38 rears. You can probably go slightly more aggresive.
