Well as some of you may know i ordered the 5zigen FN01R-C wheels in 18x8.5 with 245/40/18 falken 451 tires. After a whole big ordeal of the valves not being tightened and my battery died from not being on in 3 weeks(still gotta take that to the dealership). What do you guys think of the wheels? Heres a pic of them and the tpms are attached.

I was considering those wheels myself, but I'm just not liking the way it looks on the 8. I'm glad you posted pictures. I hope you like them though, I would hate it to be me and end up not liking them. Maybe a 19" would look a little better. Just doesn't "fit" the car, for me anyway.

Wheels with lips always look smaller than ones that come out to the brim. They look good, 8.5" width is better than the 8" stock; so I could imagine you have increased the latteral grip.

Nice job,
