thats good cause i was going for that road race look :) though next time i might go for 285 40s or 295 35s to fill the gap a smidge more. one reason i went with 18s was for weight. this wheel/tire combo is just below 50lbs. thats a substantial saving over 19" pp wheels. plus my car is a v6 6spd...i didnt want to hurt acceleration in the name of looks. on top of that...i dont have alot of spare cash and this was also a very affordable setup. i think 19s look good but 20s are just not my style. good looks are subjective...and i love how my car looks now. i also like beeing differnt....and im a little tired of concave wheels on s550s. but again thats just my opinion. this is also my daily and i car pool....i dont drive my car to carshows all day lol. sure it would look better lower...but then i wouldnt ve able to drive it lol
I think your 18s are one of the best looking setups! I also am a fan of light 18s, and agree a taller profile would be better. I think a little more offset / less extreme poke would be good (+40) but it still rocks. The price just makes it all the sweeter!

+40 would put them too far in imo...+30 or 35 would be ok. problem with +40....I don't think they would fit in the front without spacers. they would rub. with my +25s ive got MAYBE 1/2" room between the rim and strut

Oh right, for some reason I thought they were +35. +30 or maybe 35 then yeah. It's not much, that's for sure.
