A friend of mine said he wants my 17" white rims which I wont mind giving away since their a pain to keep clean so I wanna get hyper black or any dark wheels in 18's. I would get 19" but there pretty expensive. My first choice are the Hyper black Ace of Spades. Their 18x7.5 and Im pretty sure I can get them for like 1100-1200 in 18" w/ Toyo's. Any other rims you guys think would good look on my car. Also Im probbaly getting a cf hood. And last I have 45 series tires on my 17's since they kinda fill up the wheel gap a little more then 40's. Question is can I get 45 series w/ 18's or are the biggest tires I can get only in 40's. Would my wheel gap shrink at all w/ the 18's w/ 40 series tires compared to the 17's w/ 45 series tires that I have now? Cause Im mostly changing the rims not only cause their hard to clean but also to fill in gap. TIA -Dave

The gap might even shrink a little with the 18's even with the 40 series tires. I love black rims, I'm getting these 18" in black pearl. Sorry for the half pic...

Didn't like most of the rims I found so I went to a Japanese site where I found some WORK Esperio Modello 2 which come in 18x7.5, 19x7.5 and 19x8. Tempted to get them but they will cost around 2000 w/ tires for 18's and 2500 w/ tires for 19's. Anyone heard of these? There 6 double spoke gunm metal wheels. -Dave

2254518 is to narrow. you may get some rubbing as well. the 40 series will fit fine and will look alot better. the larger wheel diameter will fill up the wheel wells. i would look at different tires though. toyos suck IMO

So what tires should I get if I get 18's or 19's and how much $ will they cost about and when u said to get 40 series tires were u talking about the 18's or 19's. Not sure how much room Id have but I only have car dropped les then an inch and a half cause of my driveway and roads here suck. I luv my Toyos. They look like I put them on yesterday and I have had then for over a year w/ my share of burnouts. -Dave
