Well, here are a few pics of my car with the new wheels and just a few other random ones I liked.. Don't pay attention to my photography skills though, they still aren't the best in the world

Thanks!! They are 18x8.5 +30 in the SBC coating and I'm running 245/40R18s.. Also, I'm lowered on Hotchkis springs and it is a TIGHT fit.. At full lock the tires will barely rub the plastic on the inner wheel well but thats it..

They are SBC, super bright coating or super black chrome, something along those lines.. I generally strongly dislike chrome wheels but these are an exception for me.. In person they look a lot different than the pics.. Sometimes they have a black look to them and other times it's chrome..

yeah i have the same set up ww evo/ 18x8.5 RPF1 SBC also as a race set up 245/40/18 toyo ra-1. the wheel and tire combo are find for mild driving but during hard loads like at the track your fenders will slightly cut into the tire wall alittle. you can just roll the rear fenders ALITTLE just so your tire will clear during hard loads or when you have fat chicks in your car.........

FYI mine RPF1 are for sale went with NTO3+M W/ 275/40/17

Yeah under hard load mine will be very very close to rubbing if not.. I've pushed it a little bit so far but nothing extreme and no rubbing on the fender.. I'm planning on getting a set of coilovers though here in a month or so to lift the car up just a tad and solve the issue for good..
