Sorry but I'm hopeless when it comes to Rims, Wheels and the such. I have no idea how to tell what fits besides 16-18" on my wheels nor what tires fit on the wheels, hoping someone could help me find the rims that I'm kind of looking for.

I'm looking for 18"s that kind of look like the Stance SC 5IVE wheels. What I mean is that slight concave style with thicker spokes. They need to be either a) matteblack or b) Dark gunmetal(? matching close to Graphite mica).

My 2011 GS Hatch isnt currently lowered but I do plan on going on prokits, possible Sportline if I can afford struts later down the road, but thats a big if.

I found some wheels but not sure if 9" width is too much, I am not apposed to a fender roll after the drop, prefer not to have one without the drop though.

Anyone got good "look alikes". Pictures big +1.

could go with rota grids if you're alright with a six spoke wheel.

What offset. For 9 and pro-kits you don't need to do much except make sure you can clear the struts up front (minimum offset +45).

I forget which one I was looking at now. Its on my home computer. If the Offset is less than +45 (Say 35 or someting) do I just need a spacer?

Also How do I determine what tire fits on the wheels (want to figure out ~ pricing before I decide). For sake of example lets say the rims are 18" with 7.5 width, 45 offset.

I run 18x8.5 +48 offset xxr 522's. Lowered on pro-kits, no rubbing/fitment issues at all. They're similar to the
style of rim you are looking for, And they're not all that expensive either.
Look them up on the garage 16 website for quick reference.

You need minimum +45 and lower, i.e. +42/40/38 for 9 wide. If it's higher than +45, like +42 than you need spacers if your running 9 wide. 7.5 you need minimum +52 and 7 you need +56, if I recall correctly.

With regards to tires, 225/40/18 is an appropriate is size.
