I love the GramLights...or anything from Rays for that matter but the RacingHarts are growing on me, not to mention being less common. I just learnt that RacingHart\'s made by the same company that makes Lowenhart wheels.

any of the last 2,, first one looks like it\'s too bling bling..

EDIT: maybe b/c it looks more recessed than the others..

Should I get 17\" or 18\"?

The G-Games Wolf is about the same price in both. Not sure about tires though, and I might be using these through light snow too on allseasons. Next year my snow tires will only be going on during the heaviest month or two. Another concern is the price of tires - I drive maybe 40000km/year and with negative camber on my rear wheels...the cost of tires is soon going to add up.

Ok..I\'ve pretty much decided.

G-Games 77Wolf in gunmetal, machined lip, 18x7.5 - they\'re also the cheapest of the rims I listed. Going to order soon. One more click and they\'re on the way. ;)

Just to confirm...18x7.5 with 42mm offset fits right?

why are you buying now? sale? or u using stock rims for winter tires? where u getting them from?

EDIT: 18s will be a helluva more expensive when it comes to rubbers.. just keep that in mind!!

Yup I\'m using my stocks as winters right now.

I assume they\'d take a long time to come in so I might as well order them now and have them ready by spring. :)

this is where I plan to order: http://nlmotoring.com/product_info.php/cPath/29_1579/products_id/7937

now I just need to confirm that a 42mm offset fits...over at M3F there\'s a sticky that says 18x7.5 with 42mm offset fits

but using this: http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html it says that the new rims will extend 23mm outwards compared to the stocks...isn\'t that a lot!? I don\'t want my rims to stick out of the wheel wells

the whole offset thing is getting me confused
