Do to my new wheels fail, I'm still looking on new wheels. What do you think are the best/good looking 18" wheels for our cars? Why 18"? Too much pot hole here!!! And I have new 18" wheels. Pics and specs will be good. Today's fail was with 18x8.5 (+32 offset) and 18x9.5 (+38 ). The front wheels legs hit the caliper. Please help. Thanks.

Did you try putting on a hub centric spacer ?

If you like the wheels then just put on a spacer to give you extra space and call it a day.

I think the stock 5 dual spoke wheels look the best. BBS LM are also a good option.

Spacers could be a good option, but for the price of the spacer a better wheel is a better deal.

Spacers with bolts and everything costed me <80$ for the fronts. I was in the same boat.

It's always good to have wheels that fit without the need of a spacers. I thought you already

had the wheels.

Yes Viren. Thx God I can returned back.
I hope to found another set soon. Those BBS replica looks good. Needs to check shipping to Puerto Rico.

Also needs to verify safest offset for our cars.

I agree with you that the stock 5 dual spoke wheels look great, but I also like the Advanti Racing BO Bellos and the OZ Ultraleggera Matte Graphite Silver. Both great looking wheels. Good luck!
