Drags are probably better than the original ones your looking at.

I'm telling you that you need to get a better size. That fitment won't look good. You need to get at least an 18x9.5 with an offset of at most -35, lower offsets look better. I got the same size you are looking at and here I am a year and a half later and I already bought new wheels cause the 9.5" wide looks 10x better than the 8" wide wheels.

I would want to get a wider rim trust me but i gotta use my stock tires. How would it look bad if its 18x8 48mm. Isn't that the same as stock almost?

^ yes that's close to stock (+50mm), he's just saying IF you're going to take the time to get new rims, get wider ones with a better offset. but i guess if you're only goal is to get cheap rims now to fit your current stock tires, then yes, 18x8 would be the way to go.

they are offered in 48 or 35. which ones would look better on the 8? or even fit for that matter.
Also gunmetal or bronze for my bb 8? I still can't decide

my sig pic is bb with bronze wheels. i really like the bronze, that picture is not very good, it looks better in person, especially at night; it's dark but with some shine to it. there should be a good number of bb's with gunmetal that you can find on the forum.

+48 would essentiall be stock, which isn't bad i don't think. i mean, i loved getting a wider stance, but i was happy w/ the stock set-up for 5 years. i don't know if 18x8 +35 would work...it would be pushed out 15mm further than stock, but i can't think hard enough to confirm it would be ok with an 8" wheel...

Go with the 48 off-set.

And I like Bronze wheels butt depends upon the color of your car and you have to decide not me.

luisrsg 02-05-2010 04:36 PM

right, like i said the 8 is bb and i will decide eventually i was just 50/50 with the bronze and gunmetal. I was asking for opinions not decisions.
thanks guys
