id say probably 125-200 per rim to dechrome.

We need mor information regarding the rim to know if it will fit.
Like the width etc.
The width is usually stated as "18x ???" or post up a link and we will have a lookie

prolly 9.5 in the back

they are in pretty good shape but the tires are really bad, if someone wants them they are here

didn't yours rub bad, I mean these are just as wide as yours and yours are WIDE as fuck lol

I love wide wheels, Id love these on my car but I don't want them to rub, I mean I still have to drive my parents from time to time so.........yea, they are pretty heavy lol, if I didn't have to worry about them then id get these

well the back doesnt rub at all. the front im running 225's now but its very low ... I mean VERY LOW! and yea the front has a little rubbing but i have ways to take care of it. if your not planning to lower your car as much then I wouldnt worry about it. and my parents HATE riding in my car (exhuast very loud, music too loud, car too low, car too bumpy ect ect ..)

c280nz - the front is low .. thats all i can say the back on my car was lower then that with cut springs but I didnt like how the back sat dumped and the front was higher - now the front is much lower and the back lifted a tiny bit it makes it look even. I think you might want to go with 275/30 since the sidewall will be smaller but im sure you can still fit 265/30.

sensory - you know that CF wing really grew onto me .. it just adds that offsetting contrast to my car which I really like. you have to admit its not to rice and its not too much. would you rather have me putting a APC full-aluminium wing from KRAGEN?:D
