I saw this picture on the web and would like to know what size you think those wheels are?
I am looking to get a look like this.
Thanks!

Those are the factory 18-inch wheels from the RWD cars (18x8 +45mm front, 18x8.5 +50mm rear). Judging from the picture, I think these were painted darker than stock (they were silver for 06-07 and darker for 08, but not that dark).

Hey everyone, I am kind of in the same position as many of the above posts. I am looking to go to an 18" rim, but I want to do it for as least as possible. My current rims are 17's, and the tires on them are 225/45/17. They are winter tires, so i need to get them off soon. I believe the car is dropped with an F mid drop. They appear to have blue coils behind them, and look lower than others. Any confirmation on any of this would help. I just got it a month ago, so I am still learning all of the ins and outs of the IS line.

Thanks!

I took these pics yesterday after I put a ceramic coating on it. I rubbed it with a diaper when I was done. My fiance says I spend more time rubbing my car than I do her!

I would try to source a set of 18” oem wheels. Check the classified section here on CL to see what options may be available .

I was thinking the same thing. I am looking on here now. I have also been looking on craigslist in the surrounding states, and am thinking about junk yards. Most of the OEM wheels are $300-$400. Thats way out of my budget.
