They look sharp man! Never seen anyone with them before. I'll give you a +1rep for originality.

I have no idea, I had been eyeing them for a while and went to a car show where a booth had them and ordered them there for a show deal. about $1,050 for wheels and tires mounted, balanced, and install kit so I think I made out pretty good. The tires are Nexen N7000 not the best tire for street performance but performs about like the Pirellis and will have a much longer life which is what I need considering I've done 19,000 miles in under a year.

looks good man.

However, I too have 18x7.5 sized wheels (Enkei WDMs), and I must say, still looks smaller than i'd like.

yah its that nice lip that makes them look so much smaller than the stockers, but the lip looks so good. Oh well a little drop and all will be well again.
