Default opinion on these wheels

what do you guys think.. they come in a "staggered look" 3in lip in rear and 2 inch in front.. there only 18x8 thats the down side i was thinking i wanted something wider in a 9.5- 10inch wheel. but at the same time.. my car for the time being is a daily driver.. and my commute to wrk will be changing to about 45 mins 4 days a week soon.. so i have to consider the wear on my tires and those types of variables..

19x9.5 +40 all around will fit great.

DUITMAN created a thread showing his Axis wheels using those exact same specs and 245/35 tires. That seems like it would be a nice stance that shouldn't cause a lot of rubs for DD purposes. Those are probably the specs I'm going to go with whenever I get wheels.

Is that a painted silver wheel with a chrome lip? Hmmm either way I think you pretty much have to stick with a dark wheel with the rs7s color scheme

It'll definitely break up the black. But I feel like it could be in an awkward and out-of-place kind of way. You would need to break up the black in other areas as well in order for the wheels to have their desired effect.

Or you could break up the black. Don't be afraid to try something different. You could get your mirrors painted yellow...remove the a pillar vinyl. You would be more on your way to making those silver and chrome wheels fit in just fine. Just throwing ideas out there
