look nice on the back.. tracks a bit wide on the front for my taste... pulls all over the place on uneven roads doesn't it??

BUT.. good job getten em to fit, thats one of the better 18" installs i've seen!!!

still pisses me off that the fronts are so hard to fit on our cars!!!

18"s in my oppinion are just too big but to each their own. If I liked 18's I would say they look very good

Those things are huge!
I put 18s on my FC too, but they'll only be on while I'm saving up for some MS01s or TE37s. I had the 18s on my other car, and SURPRISE! they fit onto my RX-7.

lol, at least mine only weigh about 17 pounds.

They do a good job at filling up the wheel wells. They are a lil bling bling for my taste. But thats why they make other rims. ither way a nice addition A+.

I am glad you posted the pictures, because now I would really never consider 18"s on any of my FCs... they are just so out of place and don't fit the car at all.

They kind of look like they're supposed to be on an escalade or something...

My 18's aren't as... um, "obtrusive", lol.

Either way, I'm stoked you're stoked.

that's not the only thing that's big.

They honestly don't look bad. 18's aren't necessarily my steez', but for what they are, they look pretty agressive. I've recently been rocking the stock turbo 16's, and the 18's change the car completely--from a "nice turbo II" to almost an 80's super-car status.
