I am still in two minds about new rims.

Some nice rims which are 18x9.5 +38 (same as these) became available 2nd hand which has kind of rushed the process a little. Obviously I have some more reading to do.

I guess i'm getting a little sick of my current look. You go on NASIOC and see all these aggressive fitments and I guess it tends to make your 18x8 rims look inadequate or 'weak' in comparison.

Thanks for the opinions.

yeah, im not a fan of your current rims, te37's or advan rs in a 8.5 would be my pick. the enkies just dont look that great to me even in a 9.5 - too flat.

It may look inadequate but it's a shit load more functional. Keep current look i reckon or buy rotas for when you feel like making your car look hellaretarded.

Wait, after re-reading, I'm guessing his "agreed" post was in reference to Brendan's post regarding handling etc.

As you were.

Eh. Was going to but they said they'd put it on while it's having a service. I'm not complaining.
