18" LXRY HANES Agreeser 18x7.5 used off course for $600 shipped! I know it needs to drop but I'm on a tight budget.

Nice looking wheels

Are the wheels three piece? If they are a wider barrel is needed that width is almost stock size.

Are you planning to lower your car if so they will be sunken in

They look nice, hopefully the offsets will work in your favor.
The SC really looks and performs best with staggered wheels though, I don't even look at non staggered anymore.

thanks..it looks 3 pieces I just received today at my door step and haven't check out the contents yet
about lowering..I've thought about it but I don't know which coilovers to go with and I'm really on a tight budgets as well. Right now I kinda like the stock suspension it ride nice.

If you are on a budget, then you could buy a some springs instead of coilovers

And remember to post your questions BEFORE you put your card up.

The guys here would have likely lead you in another direction.
Pretty wheels tho, albeit a bit slim for the rear.

Nice.... LEGIT jdm 3 piece 18x7.5 > any knockoff 18x10/11/12you get the point.

You might be able to get a decent size tire on there, Hell i fit a 265 on an 8 i think it was. In the end i see you buying barrells for these, but with how low you paid you could buy barrells and still come out on top
