they dont look similar at all. i guess with so many wheels having a mesh design its hard to distinguish sometimes but the lc818 are more concave looking and the way some of the spokes are pointing toward the outer rim are different. dont get me wrong they look nice but defenetly like the lc818. if ur looking for cheaper looking lc818's go on ebay and type in miro 111. their the exact same design as the lc818's just cheaper

these right here are the same bolt pattern as our cars. pretty much anything that fit the g35s and 350z's is most likely gonna fit ours. the offset is a little aggressive but its up to you on how you want it to look. you can google the miro's and find other websites that have different options or you could contact the seller and ask if there are other offsets offered. this particualr seller im showing you actually is located about a 30 min drive from me lol.

If you like the design of those Euro tech wheels then look into TSW Nurburgrings. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but the TSW's are rotary forged vs a cast wheel. Apparently, this is what makes them really light yet able to maintain its strength. I've got them in a 19 inch matt gunmetal and can say they are almost identicle to the Eurotechs.

Default Euro-Tek wheel information

Guys just incase you have been wondering i recently found out euro-Tek wheels is actually part of MRR Wheels. i was told that euro-Tek is a new line for the company, you can actually contact them and they can tell you what specs are available. as of today heres what i got

Mesh design is available in Matte Black and Hyper Silver 19" staggered
they make it for BMW,Lexus,Infinity and all the common lowet and high et 5x114.3 fitments.

on a personal side ive also seen advertisement on the bimmer mag and heavy hitters and confirmed is from MRR Wheels.

they supposed to email me a picture of a IS250 with these on but since im new i cant realy post it up.

Yeah I paid 800 OTD for the matte black 19's. Good price, and so far they have treated me well. Cheap but they work.
