i dunno if that red lip will go with the skyblue =.=
18x8 is safe, im guessing they are +42 cos all standards are around 42..

if u wanted to go 18x9 look for around +35 then your set :)~

i like the silver ones! without the sticker and a flat silver or no centercap :)

9? isn't that too wide for the car?

Oh and can anyone explain to me what offsets are? (need a bit of clarification)

I Think the shop I'm getting the rims from said somthing about the offset being too wide lol (sorry for the noob questions)

Go full Black and none of the red lining. Got a Bluish Silver car with full Matt Black rims and very happy with it.

Cause apparently right now im having trouble finding the offsets of those wheels to fit mine. none of the Tyre shops around my area seem to sell them. me looking for like +40 or +45

i had a look at this:

http://www.hondatuned.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=372732

if they're the only specs for these wheels, then its probably best to go with the 18x8.5 +35.
u'll need to get some stretched tyres and maybe a bit of guard rolling though.

I checked on the original website, it says you can get them in +45 Lol.


But I haven't seen any yet.
