Question How do you think these will look ??? (18" L-sportline M4-mono on 2gen GS)

Girlfriend bought me 18" L-sportline M4-mono in 1 piece ( Chrome) and i'm not sure if they will look right on the car ( GS ) there 18x7.5 with 245/40/18tires, just looking for your guys advice on the look with these rims, i was thinking to sell em and get something else later on.......Does anyone have them and do you have any pics with them on the car, i couldn't find any only one car and they were in black and in 19's, thanks.........

I think it will look OK. The rim style would be fine. Do you know the offset? I think it would be close to OEM. If this is the case, a x7.5 rim would be on the thin side and will be too recessed in the wheelwell. The OEM 17s are 17x8.

Personally, I'd sell it and get a set of 18x8.5 but that's just me. It was a very nice gesture on the part of the GF, though.

Agree Neo the 7 1/2 rim sounds too thin and a 245/40 sounds too big for such a thin rim a 225 sounds more appropriate. I wonder, could these rims have been intended for mounting on the IS? I think it took a 7 1/2 inch rim.
