I don't think that's necessary at all... I like the stance as it is.

I honestly probably won't end up getting them. I can spend my money elsewhere

These wheels look good. I'm considering them in bronze and maybe adding spacers. I'm guessing they accepted the stock TPMS?

Check out my album pics. I have them in bronze, but didn't use the factory tpms. The tpms do fit though. I think these wheels are a good bargain for the price...plus they are lighter than stock.

Thanks for the input. Good to know their lighter and I can use my stock TPMS. Any specific reason you didn't use the factory TPMS? Is your tire light on or did you use an aftermarket TPMS?

The 18x9 are 21.1 pounds, which are lighter than the stock (22-22.5 pounds) wheels. I check my tire pressure religiously, so I just sold the sensors. Since it is impossible to disable the tpms system, I took the gauge cluster apart and covered the dash light. I took the gauge face off and stuffed black cotton in the pocket that houses the led. So the light and system still works, but I don't have a visible dash light.
