Hot Wheels Redlines By KMC 18x7.5", 35mm 0ffset, weight unknown probably 20-23lbs, $140 each. More traditional styled will look good no matter what. Fender trimming required I believe.

Konig Tuner II 18x7.5", 35mm Offset, 22.75lbs, $140-160 each. More flashy trend styled. Nice brakes are a must behind these and car must be of similar color or a nice contrast. Fender trimming required I believe.

Tires of choice for this combo are 235-40-zr-18 Falken Ziex 512's for a good blend of all weather traction, stability, and looks.

I need opinions soon people. Getting itchy for some new 18's. I already sold my brand new 18x7.5" Katana VR6's as they wouldn't even clear my factor calipers no less my up coming 13" upgrade.

Here is the car they are going on for reference. PhotoShopped drop and body smoothing. Just FYI. It will look close to that very soon.

Cancel that last post as I just found out that those nice Hot wheels wheels weigh 29.7lbs each! Holy crap! And the Konigs are on back order for 10 weeks. Not waiting that long. So I did the next best thing, bought some lighter better Enkei's. The J10 in 18x7.5" only 20.1lbs each with a 38mm offset. Picked em' up for $693 shipped via priority with the install kit included and an extra wheel key. They look very similar to my current 17x7.5" ASA KA3's but bigger and with a polished lip with wider spoke spacing. Here's the pics.

Sorry for the waste of time guys but these are more wheel options for all of us.

Nice looking wheels. I like the ASA's you had on there. Change the color of the center to go better with the silver and you'd be good to go.

The ASA's have silver and polished caps on them now, have been on for almost 2 years now. When I ordered the wheels almost 3 years ago all they had were the red caps. Took 4 months for the silvers ones to get to me. Don't get me wrong, I like the ASA's just fine but they are a smidge too small. I also wanted something with a polished lip and at least 18's. Anyways the ASA's are sold to a local 93' Taurus SLO owner for $650 complete with tuner lugs, keys and hub rings with brand new tires.
