Wheel Specs Opinions Wanted
Hey guys, I have an AP1 and was looking at some 18s.... 18x7 front and 18x8.5 rear... both at +48.
Those should fit it fine, no?
(not looking at lowering it any just yet)

It's your car. Do want you want. You have a perfectly good set of wheels there.

If you do end up getting different wheels, I'm you can sell them pretty quick either on here or craigslist.

Im guessing you bought the car like that. Im doubting you would be replacing the wheels with anything as nice as those. Are those BBS wheels? If they are those wheels probably retail from about 500-600 a piece.
If you want them black then just have them sand blasted and powder coated. They will look new and it will only cost you about 300 for the set.

Yeah, I bought the vehicle with those wheels and the stock 16's..... Powder coating them did cross my mind...BTW they're actually ASA, very similar to the BBS look, but a lot less expensive....

Ah I thought they might be after typing it. They look just like them and im sure they are ment to.
But yeah powder coating is the way to go. You could powder coat those or the stock wheels. Both look good.
