Thoughts on these rims?
I'm really looking at these rims. They are Concept Neeper Moxy. They have 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 10, that would be perfect with 255s in front and 285s in the back. What do you guys think about them? Any other options you might suggest?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Artem,
I would do 9.5" in the rear.. A 10" rim will just stretch the sidewall more on a 285 tire. For 295 you should have 10"..
Usually guys will go with the 10" because they want that extra 0.5" of lip on the back..
Keep in mind stock factory config on the CLS are 8.5 front with 255 tires and 9.5 rear with 285 tires. (I am mentioning the CLS just to show how they matched up the rim widths and tire widths)

As far as the Neeper Moxys go, I don't know their weight, so if they are over 30 lbs, I will not get them. I was thinking of going with chrome...
Thanks everybody for your inputs!
BTW: The Neepers cost 270$ each from streetdreams.org
