Default Pulling the trigger

I plan on buying these within the next 48 hours:

http://cgi.ebay.com/18-Black-Red-Wheels-Jetta-Civic-S2000-5x100-5x114-3_W0QQitemZ140422871000QQcategoryZ43958QQvarZQQcmdZViewItem

The purpose of this thread is to listen to and weigh out objections, suggestions, and tire reccomendations. I believe I'll also need lugs. I have never, ever bought wheels for a car before. These will only be my wheels half-time; I gotta keep steelies for Colorado winters. These will go on my RS6. Help me out, scionlife!

18x8 +35 offset... tire size will depend on your drop. What are you lowered on/going to be lowered on?

Yes, you will need lug nuts, 12x1.5 thread pitch. Probably conical seat tuner lugs, maybe ET. You can probably confirm by contacting MSR directly or a retailer that sells them.

You are also going to need a set of hubcentric rings.

I plan on doing the hotchkis drop and sway package next. I'll research the lugnut business. Thanks for the help.

You should be fine with 225/40-18 tires.
