Show me your 18s!

I'm thinking of getting 18" HREs for my car since it's a daily driver. Can you guys post pics of your car with 18s? I will be selling my 19" Maya DTMs if anyone is interested.

I haven't decided yet. The roads where I live are not very good plus I commute to work so I must drive over a few railroad tracks daily. I'm contemplating at this point.

The best price I've gotten so far is $7100 for the 840R in 19x8.5f and 19x9.5r with Pirelli P Nero Zero tires.

So Swany, you live in Gilroy? The roads are pretty bad depending where you drive. Potholes are everywhere and they are pretty big. Takes months before they even start to fix them!

What finish are those wheels in? The quote I was given was for the high polish. Also I don't believe I can go that wide of a tire on the front and rear. Looking for 235/35 front and 265/30 rear. I have coilovers on my car with a 12mm spacer on the front and had rubbing issues. Do you have a shop?
