Please don't shoot me Well, I lost out on the Weds, can't get Hyperblack Saleens like I wanted....Then I saw these. 18x9 +36 and 18x10 + 42
To go on a DWP SC...What do you think?

I think they look good, why couldn't you get the hyperblack Saleens, who did you try to get them from?

Hyperblacks were only in 18x9 +24 offsets and not +30. I am really unsure about running +24 with either a 235 or 245 with no fender mods. These are from wheelreplicas.com out of Houston.

I dont think +24 with 235s would be even close to rubbing even on a lowered car

offsets could be more aggressive, but not bad.

With 235 tires you won't rub with 24 offset check out "my saleens and then some" thread few threads below

I'm lowered about 1.4 inches 26 inches from ground to the black fenger strip

I think you could get away with it. I dont think they will be bad at all.

Not a lot of inexpensive wheels in the 10"+ width. Most are only 9.5" width in the lower price ranges

they fit, look decent (bullet wheels don't though), and replicas are plentiful and cheap. The only haters are the mustang guys really, just because they think it doesn't belong on anything else.

No fad, just what looks good, wide enough, mean and always liked 5 spoke design
