Yes, I have thought about ordering six 18x9.5 +45 PF01 wheels in matt black. I could mount 265/40R18 front, 285/35R18 rear, and throw 245/40R18 drag radials on the other two wheels. They aren't my favorite looking wheel, but they aren't bad on the eyes either...and you can't beat what they offer for about $340 a piece.

if you go that route take a look at the TSW Interlago's. IIRC mine are 18x9.5 +40. I'm running 275/35/18's Nitto NT01's for the track.

Seems like a pretty decent track setup. ...but the more I mull over the setup I want, the more I think I want something like this:

BC Forged RT51:
18x9.5 +45
18x11 +60

Nitto NT05:
275/35ZR18
295/35ZR18

I think that this would work, possibly without any trimming, even if I get the BC coilovers I want and keep a ride height closer to stock.

that looks like it would be a sweet setup... I really like the top left BCR wheels from the post with all the wheel pics the best though.... I wish they came in19's....

I do like that wheel quite a bit as well. I would probably get 19's if you could get the 1 piece in that size, since there are more tire options in the widths I want.

Well, I just ran across a new wheel option that has me thinking. These are still not my preferred widths/offsets, but I think they would work well. The price is pretty decent on them as well.

WedsSport SA-15R:
front - 18x9.5 +38
rear - 18x9.5 +48
(8.99kg each)

I think this would pair well with 255/40R18 & 285/35R18 Michelin PSS tires.

You can't go wrong with BLC. It's the color I have for my SA-67Rs.

I like the black and blue ones better as well, unfortunately they were $190 more expensive per wheel at the site I was researching them on.

the enkei NT03 is also similar in style to some of these wheels you've been showing. I'm running 9.5 all around on my 350 with a +40 in front and +30 in the rear. They only weigh like 18lbs a piece for the 18x9.5.

The ISF requires more conservative offsets if you want to run wide tires. The reason I posted these particular wheels is they offer a 19x9.5 +48, which is rare to find. Without going custom, most companies don't offer much more conservative than a +40...if that.
