Getting wheels for the pp1? Need info

[MMMISTAKES]

I've got a 20 pp1 iconic silver that's lowered.
It's wrapped at the moment. Photos provided

I am looking at getting 18s or 19s for my next set of wheels. I'm still on stock pp1s

Looking at anovia elders.
I want to run a square 265 set up on 18rx10.5 offset 22 black for a little stretch

They don't make that size in black so I would have to settle for a
19rx10.5 offset 22 black
Or
18rx10.5 offset 35 brushed silver.

Would the brushed silver match the silver of the car underneath the wrap? Or should I just spend the extra money and heavier wheels to get the 19s like the pp1?

[Less Weight]

Go for the Apex EC-7 or EC-7RS. 21.5 lbs and 20 lbs, respectively

I have them and love them. You will notice the 14 pound (if I remember the PP1 wheel weight accurately) per corner weight loss immediately

You can't put 18 inch wheels on a PP car. They won't fit over the front brakes.

Some can, like the aformentioned Apexs. But those are also properly backspaced for flush fitment, not like the pokey poke fitment the OP seems to be going after.

I've considered removing material from the top of the brake to fit 18s, with the elders there would be approximately 1.66"(42.1mm) poke up front and 1.68"(42.7mm) poke in the rear. From the pp1s

My car already has camber to accommodate the width. It would sit a bit further than flush.

I would like to go with a flush set up or slight poke(14mm) half inch.

I'm looking at different wheel set up now, maybe 18r 10.5 +(33to35)

I want a 10.5 rim to run a square 265 set up for a little bit of stretch.

LOL. I have two separate sets of 18"x11" and they do fit just fine.

Well, you learn something every day!

What offset are those? The +22 is a bit aggressive for my liking

These are 265 in the rear of that bottom pic?

Both sets are ET 52mm, square setup.

Both sets of wheels are Apex - SM 10 and EC-7.

Btw, taking material off brake caliper to fit aftermarket wheels is dumb.

No that's a 285. That is an old photo

why so narrow?

Yes it is but to get a lighter and cheaper wheel that I like it is something I am considering.

Stretch and they are cheaper
