alright guys...I've decided to go 18 x 8 with a 38 offset.....Too big?...Clearance issues?....By the way, I'm ordering some Volk GTU's with the Gold finish for my black DC5-S....What do you guys think?

Can't say for sure that it won't stick out too far/rub on your fenders. See if you can find someone using the same wheels or anyhting 8" wide with a +38 offset. They'll look nice though

Re: Rim size (JDMGSRCRX)
I want those rims too and I have the same color as you. send me some pics when you get them. I think it will look sick but I'm not sure about the 38mm offset. maybe 40 or 42. I can check for you because I have a buddy that works at mackin.

Re: Rim size (JDMGSRCRX)
Im not sure i care too much for the look of an 18" wheel on the car...i looked around a found a few pictures and though they fit the wheel well nicely with a fairly low stance, i think 17's personally are optimal, if you can fit a 17x8 that would be good...but it seems as if you've already made up your mind so good luck with that...

What purpose does your thread have then if you cant take people's opinions? You asked. I'm sorry that I answered.

Type R rims look nice. I haven't seen white on black, though silver looks great.
IMO they type R rims are too heavy (19lbs ea?) and for the price i'd rather pay a little more for a set of volks.
