I like the wheels...but I'm not sure about the Nankang tires. Hopefully the model NS-II is quiet as they advertise becaue my cousin installed these Nankang tires (not sure of model) on his Acura TL...they are noisy and rough.
But for a price of $102 each tire...you can't beat that!
If you can afford then go for Toyo Proxes. Other than that...nice set of wheels package.
I said go for it!

it suck that black is only offered with 45mm offset... woulda been better with 35mm... hopefully no rubbing... get it and show it off!!!

45mm may rub? if so, where will it? i don't wanna be driving and hearing any tire rubbing. Any suggestions?

check www.tirerack.com first. i got a set of 245/35/20 sumitomo htrz2`s for my lincoln ls for 109 each on sale. they were the cheapest by far. the regular price was on average 130 per tire. and nankang isn`t the best brand. sumitomo isn`t either but its definitely better than nankang. good luck. edit.. i just checked tirerack and they have the same sumitomos i have for $95 each.

i would think that a +45 mm offset would have less of a chance of rubbing than a +35mm offset. the higher the number means the more it will sit inside the wheelwell. i have a +48 on the 20`s for my lincoln ls and i have no rubbing at all compared to my friend with a +35 offset who gotta be extra careful over bumps. another thing to watch out for is the rim width and with that being a 18x7.5 , you should have no issues. i`m no expert its just what makes sense to me. correct me if i am wrong.

Here's my two cents since you're asking. The wheels - ugly in black, might be better looking in flat aluminum if they make it. They dont fit the lines of the car, reminds me of the wheels some of the local muchachos put on their cars that are lowered, have a raspy exhaust and a Mexican flag on the rear bumper, along with a please-pull-me-over dark tint on the windows.

The tires look really good for traction esp if it rains alot where you live. One thing is sure, get good tires for the fronts with a stiff sidewall - so you dont wind up with a possible pulling problem. I buy cheapo tires and they usually cause steering pull and then i have to swap the wheels around on the car until i find a combo that wont pull. So if you dont get these tires, get some michelin or bridgestone, or dunlops - for the fronts, at least.

+45 with 225/45/18 will not rub even with TRD springs
