18" White JDM Drift Alloys

Right, so I'm in love with these:

I need a set of 18's in my life but I'm wondering what's the largest I can go sticking with 18's?

18x8 on the front and 18x8.5 on the rear? is this possible?

Any expert wheel based knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

its possible it depends on the offset, you could go 18x8 all round if the offset is right

I do want this but the rear could go wider as the wheels tend to sit within the arch more than the front so I would like a wider stance at the rear.

15mm eibach spacer? save on tyres is all as a 225 would be strteched on a 8.5 imo

 

[Mugged Off]

Good point, I have spacers already so might just stick with 18x8's

 

[LeeCS]

Can you buy those wheels staggered? ie two 18x8 and two 18x8.5?

Ive got 18x8 with ET35 offset. I fitted 15mm eibach spacers to the rear (making the rears ET20) 8'' wide is fine for me now.

You can buy in single double etc, I'm just looking at the options for the rear.

Looks like I'll be putting spacers on the rear.

Nice looking wheels but they are a complete rip off of the Rays VOLK TE37's:

The 'RAVS Engineering' sticker is a bit cringe worthy when the genuine wheels say 'RAYS Engineering', it's like having a fake Mugen spoiler and the badge saying Muwgen.

In general I think those particular wheels would cheapen the overall appearance of your car especially as you've spent a lot of money on decent parts. Rota produce replica JDM wheels and they sell a set in the TE37 style but they don't fit stupid stickers and I believe they are lighter than the Inovit's as well.

Will look gorgeous on your car mate

@coleo I want this style, must be the drift scene influence I love so much. A bit of a novice when it comes to wheels as I'm more a performance guy and not a fan of sticking plastic on, fixing lights and generally spending money on stuff that doesn't have a purpose. But I love this style rim so it's the Volks you say? I don't want to settle for something that visually looks like a copy, I'd rather have the genuine part.

They are copies like the rota grids of these wheels

Genuine Volk TE37's that I had on my ek9

What about Rota's like these or these?

 

[FN2cub]

Good wheels but there all copies, I had a set of slipsteams on the ek9 aswell.

 

[Mugged Off]

Are Rota's copies?

Go for the new rota GR 6 mate, 18x7.5 = 8.1kg, lightweight ftw

Rota GR6

Was going to get them myself but changed my mind

 

[Mugged Off]

Nice! Now I'm stuck for choice, gonna have to sleep on this again.

Damn I like those but can't find for sale even on rotashop.
Why are they so cheap?

These are the wheels I want too hands off
I'm going to get them in bronze, just trying to decide on tyres Yokohama parada 2 looks good but I've heard they are terrible in the wet.
Here is a picture of them in bronze http://www.civinfo.com/forum/modification-projects/65577-toms-nhb-ctr-gt.html#post1049666

Out of interest does anyone know how much a stock FN2 wheel weighs 8kg sounds light but I don't know what to compare it with. :S

 

[Mugged Off]

Nice Tom, so would it be ok if I potentially got them in white? would you hate me huh?
