NEW RIMS!

What do you guys think?

18 x 8.5 Offset 35 - all four of them. I got them for $400 + shipping for all 4 using a coupon for US AUTO PARTS DEPO'S Ebay store

This way they're all the same dimensions and I can rotate! Yay! (I used to have brabus monoblock 3pc that they no longer make and I had a crack).

not my cup of tea but if you like it thats all that matters, now lower it and it'll look 100% better.

Yeah I'd kill for some OEM rims, but you can't find those for under $800.

I loved my Brabus Monoblock IV that came with the car, but they're not made anymore and I can't find ONE for under $500

Both of the front rims have had many cracks. Fixed and broken again over and over beyond repair. Thankfully I no longer live in Boulder, CO which is no doubt what caused the issue with hippie-quality roads.

as Frank said, you can get barrels ordered, depending if its the inner or outter. most shops can get some ordered or made for around 250 a barrel or less.
