They are finally here... 18x8, black coated...

I weighed them and they are right on the mark: 18.4 lbs each.

I am having them installed tomorrow... :smoker:

Sexy yes but to maintain that sexy it's gonna take 15 min each to keep em looking that clean!

Thread Jack:
Any tips on cleaning multiple spoke rims? As well as the inner part? I've had my fair share of multiple spokes and now I'm going back to 5....

Oh, I am ordering black lilghtweight lug nuts to match the wheels and I am replacing that damn rusty rear rotors too...

I really don't think they will be that bad to clean... I guess I will find out... :)

The ones that are a bitch to clean are the Elise's, they are double-spokes and nothings fits to clean in between... :rant:

What offset did you get? Looks much wider than what Tire Rack recommends. Thinking about these for my black.

Those wheels look the business. Nice. The red calipers really pop behind the black spokes too.

I'd love to see some artsy photography of your car with these hot wheels.
