Size: (215/35/18) or (225/40/18)

Whould the 225s fit under the car with the offset?

The other wheel I was looking at was this

I like the second one but I favor the 3-piece look.

Get the first ones in 215/45/18. Even when lowered they will only rub slightly in the rear over heavy bumps.

They are very heavy though and will affect handling and acceleration quite a bit. It annoyed the hell out of me.

Top ones. Wheels with a lips generally seem to look smaller.

wheelmax are some shady mofos, do not buy from them. try to find those wheels somewhere else if you really want them.

i like the 2nd ones better. the lip on those looks awesome. but ive heard lots of bad things about wheelmax too when i was looking to buy from them. i ordered mine from wheels next and they were great to deal with, so you might try them.

I say totally go for the first ones. Black on blue looks SOOO good. Makes me wish I had bought my Pro in blue......

Anywho, be careful about Wheelmax. I almost bought from them but then someone told me about an order they placed with them a while back and he ended up getting screwed. Im sure you could find those Exel's somewhere else.

Id recommend www.streetdreams.org. They have really good customer service and can get you those wheels in chrome for a relatively good price.
