Hell yeah I wish they would make them in gold in the 18" sizes, I know they do in 17"... Volk gold is the syck gold tho- when I bought these there was only silver or SBC (super Brilliant Chrome) in 18x9.5 so I got the silver with plans to paint or powder coat

Man seeing those wheels and ur car really makes me wonder if i should get these in 18s or get 17x10.

They both look amazing

Nope Fits great! Barely notice any rubbing at all,it only happens at full lock of the steering wheel. With such a high offset (+38) they tuck nicely inside. I opted for the +38 because rolling is not needed, unless you run wider than 255 width tires... I could have done the +18 and avoid using front spacers, but didnt want to have major surgery performed to get them to fit in the rears

17x10 look at fit well too! Tires would be cheaper with 17's, I went with 18's for the looks mainly- no major difference in weight like most 17 vs. 18 sizes

I'm actually not sure if they started making them in gold in different sizes now, ut last time I checked there were no gold in 18, except 18x8... unless you mean you are going to paint a silver set gold of course

I think 17s would be good enough for me but dont get my wrong

18x9.5 w/ a 265/435/18 tire does sound good for autox / road race

But id rather not have to completely hack up the rear quarter panels
