I'm tossing up for a new set of wheels for my mk2 xr6 turbo.Currently I'm looking at these:However I'm unsure of how 18 inch rims will look on my car. As currently she's sitting on black twistys. What is everyone's thoughts/opinions on going with an 18 inch rim on an fg?

Sometimes I look at her and I love how 19s look, not too big but not too small. I was thinking of getting them with an offset to make them flush. I like the style of these but the part that stands out for me is the width and the weight of the wheel.

Did you have any more photos you can post up mate? Also, what's the best offset to get the wheels flush with the guards? I don't wanna "poke" just a nice flush fitment. Even the factory offset sits in too much for my liking. Edited 13/09/14 12:00 AM by SLY270
