My car was in an accident before(friend borrowed the car and crashed) and these wheels held up well, the car climbed a curb, broke the upper and lower a arms, snapped an axle, but the rims still held up. Did not even crack. just bent a little. I was supprised at how strong these wheels are.

i have these rims.. they are HEAVY.. about 45 lbs for the 18x7.5(225/40/18) and 50 lbs for the 18x8.5(245/40/18) but as the previous person said, they are STRONG, so i dont mind the extra weight

these are definitely nice 'show' rims.. but performance/track wise, id say stick to the stocks with stick tires..

i just ordered these in 17 x 7.5 and 17 x 8.5..when i get them installed i'll let you know how they feel. because of the +48 offset, i think rubbing problems would occur with the 18's, especially if you lower the car or corner hard. il try to post pics too.
