18x8.5 +35
18x9.5 +35

not bad but i think 19s in that wheel will look better than the 18s, even though i favor 18s more.

I say 19s in that setup. How much is it setting you back?

I agree. you should also see if there are other offsets too.

price. 1k flat. personally id prefer 18's just cause to me 19's dont always look that great or seem to big to me w/o a kit of some kind. besides, it saves me some money for better tires and chicago streets arent that friendly where i live. i seriously dont think the guys who do road repair know how to flatten things out.

as for i-forged knock off, had no idea. not familiar with them.

so besides looks, anyone else here have ruff type wheels? i know ive seen a few but cant remember who exactly. im interested in what kind of quality i get with these.

IMO, you should save your money and get some real multi-piece wheels, there worth every penny but that's me, I've never been a knock-off guy.

I'm glad some people still have a sense of rims here. Forget that RUFF, crap...there are so many better quality rims for you out there-custom offsets and all. Sorry but +35 on an SC dissapoints me.
