they're racing hart type c5's 18 x 8.5. they are the 3 piece rims, not those cheap one piece. it still has those japanese stickers on the inside. i found a couple of buyers, but make me an offer. i guess higher bidder wins. they come with tires, but you need to buy new ones.

If you like 19's, I always like the mesh look for the wheels. For example, the Enkei Aegis---

i personally dont' like mesh type wheels. more for like rice burners and stuff like that. i have a body kit, so mesh wheels look smaller than they really are. i need something thick and bold. it's hard to choose.

I think some LR-5 TYPE wheels would look nice...a fan 5 spoke...Fabulous makes some nice ones that are forged and available in 19"...a bit more expensive than Racing Harts but you're rarely see them in the states...if ever...

www.gtautosports.com I know has a pic of the manaray hyper evolution(the ones that look like equips)and I think they may have the ms-6 hyper r as well.If you could find there website that would be better.Maybe manaray will know it and were to look for the fabulous wheels.Take your time
