18x10.5 +45 $140 each - Opinions?

What do you guys think about these wheels for an FD?

http://www.stage3motorsports.com/pro...ack_Wheel.html

$140 each for a 18x10.5 +45 offset


Im thinking 285 up front and 315 in the back. Will need 10mm wider fenders front and rear based on my calcuations.

I've heard of 18x10.5 +50 offset FD wheels with 285s all around.

You'll have to mod fenders to fit that up front. Roll the rear fenders.

If you want to run 315's you'll end up getting spacers anyways, taht width and offset won't clear. Maybe 305 max, 295 for sure.

Estimate a 10-15 mm front fender mod.

Was this comment even necessary? Just because they are cheap or maybe heavy doesn't mean they aren't worthy of the Fd. What he drives on the street doesn't matter. What you think he can't afford to put on a bargin set of wheels while also later buying a performance set? Hell these are so cheap I may even pick up a set just for the hell of it. They don't look half bad on that Fc either.
