TSW Nogaros - Good / Cheap wheel option
I knew I wanted to replace my OEM 18s with an aftermarket wheel, but I also wanted to keep the cost down and reuse my OEM tires. Unfortunately, most of the "generic" wheels available through Discount Tire and TireRack either wouldn't fit, or I didn't like them. Some of the wheels that I tried that were supposed to fit (based on size and offset) did NOT fit over the front brake caliper.
I did finally find a wheel that I like, fit well, and were less than $1000 installed! They are TSW Nogaros with 18x8"-40 mm (front) and 18x9"-35 mm (rear). I did add 5 mm spacers on the front to fill out the fender a little better.
Edit: TPMS Sensors work fine with these wheels.

Very nice~~Thanks for your info. Aftermarket wheels and reusing my OEM tires is exactly what I want to do also. How is the fitment of 18X9 with the OEM rear tires? Where did you get the spacer from? And how much? Thanks.
Your TSW looks very good on your car!!

I got them from Discount Tire, but there are many other places that sell them. I went through Discount Tire just so that I could make sure they fit BEFORE buying them.
The rear tires actually fit better than they did on the OEM wheels. The OEM rear wheel is just .5" wider than the fronts, but the 255/40-18s were more than .5" wider than the 225/40-18s.
