I plan on having them bronzed in Nov.

I never thought Id have RAYS!!!
"RAYS Engineering" Biotch!!!
I dont have a body kit on my Lancer ES so Im lettin 'em sit in my room and wait until I get the TEIN SS or Basic Damper to lower the car, cus I hear 18's will make your car look like it sit's too high and kinda weird...
Itll be worth the wait, but yeah I got these... LoL
Hey, anyone got the stock OZ RALLY Lips & Sides or maybe even the whole bumpers and side skirts ya wanna sell me? (Preferably in White)

LoL
Im gonna Love my 18s...
Yeah I couldnt sleep either cus I slept all day... Im syked about my RAYS G-Games cus noone has 'em. Whatyall think of em?
HEy Dreamartist, I like your Bronze on White idea however, I would do a larger rim or something that will allow more Bronze rather than just the little bit thats on the spokes surrounded by so much chrome... Still, Itll look hott when you figure out whatyour doin'.
Bronze is a hot color with white (actually its more neutral, and works with more colors than one might think!), when its done right, try not to get on that wannabe bronze that looks like cheap-@ss gold, cus thatll kill ya.
I was gonna go with Bronze on my Lancer till I found these RAYS, which I wanted in Black but they were out so I jumped on the deal which included tires on those gunmetal ones... Damn, I didnt get anything I wanted but a Name and a Size huh?
Aright Peace!

You got the wrong size tires then...
I made no mistake at all, and that Im sure of...
I got 18's with low pro tires that have a 1" (whatever mm that is) profile. That way they dont rub at all, they dont raise the car up either. It retains its stock height and doesnt look awkward really.
I can lower my car 2 inches and be good to go still.
Perhaps you shoulda measured first, or concidered the girth of the tire.
Alot of people make that mistake however.
Heres a pic of the wheel tho:
See how thin the tire is?
You dont have to worry much about the thinness and loss of tread because the ammount of treadwear is equal to another tire (a Penny fitting). Thats where it counts the most. Also the tires are pretty damn wide (18" x 8.5) so it makes up for where the sidewall lacks a bit, if at all.
