It's final, going to get wheels, need to price everything out!

I'm going to be picking up ADR Cypher 18x8.5 fronts and 18x9.5 rears for my FD. Now I'm trying to price everything out.

I need to figure out difference in colors though because the bronze look like a black color, gun metal is a darker color than bronze?, silver is silver, and then what's the hyper silver? For the wheels it is $858 + shipping, but it's weird because if I put Hyper Silver as the color it's $907 + shipping, why the price increase?

Also, offset, I don't know if offset will affect this, but I want as big as a lip I can get in my rear. The offsets that they offer are, +35, +40, +42, +45, +48. Which should I get? Same offset all around or different?

Last but not least, what are good tires? They don't need to be the best top of the line tires, but best bang for the buck tires. What kind of setup should I go for too. 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 seems to be the common setup. Would I be able to go 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 or would that look strange?

I'm just looking to price everything out so I will know how much everything will cost before I go through with the purchase. Also, how much is it to mount and balance the wheels on the tire.

I'm also buying Tein S-tech springs, so the car is going to be lowered.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Whats the difference between silver and hyper silver? Why would hyper silver wheel be almost $50 more than a regular silver finish?

Books, go ahead and do a search for threads started by me and you'll see all my threads with the wheels. Good luck

Just how many threads do you need to start on this topic? This is at least the fourth one. Your offset and tire size questions have already been answered too. So what's the deal?

Higher offsets will be better for fitment and maintaining stock scrub radius, but will reduce lip size. The +42 will work for both front and rear sizes, but +45 or +48 would work better.

Proper tire sizes will be 235/40 or 245/35 up front, and 265/35 at the rear. 275/35 is also a possibility, but the diameter is too far above stock for my personal tastes.

For tire choice, you can SEARCH in the Suspension forum and through the tire reviews on Tire Rack.

If you can't get a good enough idea of color over the internet, go to a local ADR dealer and check out the different finish options in person.
