MSR winter rims on SS/tc....

So here are the pics I said I would post, overall impression is they are sexy and I love them! Granted they arent light weight(21.46lbs) but for the price you cant beat them and it gives the car a much more aggressive stance....... Oh and they clear the brembo brakes with lots of room to spare. Sorry I couldnt take better pics but I was rushing and needed to get home to relieve the nanny.... I'll post better pics soon.... No issues with U turns(rubbing), although lug nuts are very important! I had some Buddy Club ProRacer racing lug nuts that didnt fit because its really tight getting the socket over them without scratching the wheel. I had to go to Advanced auto and get some lugs that are open ended and torque down with a tool inserted into them for 29.99. But I also ordered some of these lug nuts from Volk(bottom pic) in black.

MSR 18x8 Hyper Silver(anthracite basically)
+35mm offset

Because of price, you really cant beat it for an inexpensive rim. People at work were asking me if I stole some rims off a BMW....lol..... For summer rims I'm hoping someone comes out with a really light weight forged rim, which one will probably cost what I paid for the set.


Special thanks to Jason from Jasonaudio for putting the customer first and delivering me some sexy time wheels!lol....

MSR 18x8 anthracite color...
Can you also post the offset and price?

The reason "they clear the brembo brakes with lots of room to spare" is probably they didn't have enough positive offset, which might rub under heavy cornering.
