Are the front and rear the same size, 18x8 +38mm offset?
Those wheels are nice. Can't wait until you post a pic of your car with the wheels on.

Those have to way like twenty something pounds if they are that cheap. No way can there be a rim that looks that nice, is that cheap, and be lightweight too. How much do they weigh?

They do look nice however. Would be better in an 18x10 in my opinion.

Hope those are going the T2 FC. 8 wide is no better than stock for FD
Even if you do some how manage to have the wheels widened, you're now adding more weight to the wheel with extra material, and compromising wheel strength.
Enjoy them, anway

i highly doubt the man would jeopardize his business to do something that is unsafe. now looking at my wheels they are one peice so they most likely cannot be modified. remember wheels can be made on cnc machines to exacting specs out of strong materials(which is the process of most top notch wheels) multi peice wheels no doubt in my mind can be done. Now on another note everybody assumes they know what purpose i'm using thses wheels for! These are just for driving around town, any performance oriented driving will be done on stock wheels with the proper tires! If you do a search on my username you will see i'm a dragracer!

That's a good point. This does look like a multi-piece wheel, so if they just widen the outer part, then they could bolt up (or however they attach it) the spokes to it.

If you are just driving around town and not too worried about you car taking corners at 1g, then who the **** cares if your rims are only 8'' wide.
They look sweet man.
