This website only seems to have the 18's in 5x100 pattern. Where can you find 18's in the 4 lug patterns? Thanks!

email that company and ask. They are so close to rota that they have custom runs done of many of the wheels. So I'm sure they can help you track down 18s in 4x100.

i wrapped my factory G35C wheels in there and stacked them up
thinking it would look nice an tidy...




honestly, the bare tires with the circular cardboard stacked up
on each other looks more organized. kinda dissappointed.
oh well, atleast i tried...

im sure it'll be handy for those that carry their wheels
around for track, etc. though. i keep my wheels in the
garage, so...

okay now i'm convinced to pick those up... even though *I* like the stacked tire look too, i think the g/f will appreciate the attempt to have the living room look less like a paddock.

thanks for the photo!

Here is a great shot of my new wheels

I love the way they look on the car and they fit just perfect with the lower suspension

Enjoy

Love these wheels, I got the 16" instead of 15". Can't wait to mount them on!
Good choice man!

Good luck with that. I spent about 3-4 months searching for them in white and wound up getting something else because no one had them and no one could tell me when they would.

You could always get them powder coated but that won't help you with the polished lip. I got the Kosie K-1 TS in silver and powder coated in white. See my gallery

Sadly, I should have gotten 16's as well. They look too small.....selling them as soon as the new wheels get here next month.
