Hey guys, I put in a request for a photoshop of the following wheels, but i figured i would put them in here too to see what you guys thought.



theyre Kosei 18x8 +45

If you are going for flush, these wheels aren't going to cut it. I can't ever recommend buying wheels that you know are going to need spacers to fit right.

Try Rimtuck.com to see exactly what good wheel fitment is...
