Message After months of watching I finally found the set of wheels I was trying to buy (and I bought them).

Yokohama AVS VS5 wheels, basically like new. I should have them on the car in a few weeks (have to get tires, and that's why I'm making this post).


They have a machined lip, I'm assuming most likely because they had curb rash and someone fixed them. If not, I've never seen a set like this before. Bought them from an e'bayer in Canada for a little more than I would have like to spent, but for the right set of wheels (in the correct size), it's worth it.

Here's a pic from the ebay auction:



18x8.5 +45 fronts

18x9.5 +40 rears

With these sizes, a 245/40/18 for the front and a 275/35/18 for the rears....can or should I fit a 285/30/18 on the rear or is that pushing it?


....and here's the old Gewalt's that are getting replaced: Don't worry, I'm not selling them (yet)...going to keep them for roadcourse wheels even though one has a wobble to it on the front ones. :)
