Looks like the WEDS Farmas that bitkahuna has.

Looks just like a Manaray Sport VR5 EXE.

On second thought, I think those are WEDS Farmas DP-V11 in the bronze finish.

I don't think it's a bronze finish. I think it's just a reflection of the sunlight...judging by the other lighting around it, it looks like late afternoon or early morning which would give a goldish/bronze reflection.

Weds Farmas...

Thanks gentlemen.

Weds Farmas. Hmmmm.

Weds are pretty good quality wheels, aren't they?

Wink WEDS Farmas DP-V11

Yep! Those are definitely WEDS Farmas DP-V11s.
18/8.5 front, 18/9.5 rear with Nitto Extremes555

I am certain because that is my car on my driveway during the late afternoon.

They look very much like the VR5s but I don't think the WEDS are as polished. The lip has a brushed look to it.

These wheels I believe are lug centric and not hub centric, so you might run into some vibration issues. I have a little vibration around 55-60 mph. However, it could be my tires that are causing the vibration.

If you do get them, put 275 tires in the rear. I have 265 and I think they look a little small.
