overboost

Trying to find out what you guys think of these wheels?

HP Design Lightnings

18x8 Front | ???
18x9 Rear | Bridgestone S-02's 265/35

Front right has some curb rash on them

rear tires are bad (almost bald actually)

Since I put them on I also have a slight vibration in the steering wheel while going about 57-65. (Steering wheel is moving about 1/5th of an inch from the center in both directions, no movement at all with the stock wheels, it's as smooth as butter.) I'm assuming it's because they're not balanced, so if I decide to get them i'm gonna get them balanced first then make my final decision based on the vibration.

Rear tires are noisy as heck (Bridgestone S-02's) so those are def gonna get changed if I decide to get them. So give me your opinions guys, be critical seriously, I would feel much better if the rims had a machined lip at least.

Onto the pics

Drop the damn car then we can talk about the wheels!

okay, I know i'm 4x4ing but just wanted to see about the wheels because i'm getting them for a good deal, BUT what's a good deal if the rims dont look good? I think they're okay, just wanted to get others opinions too.

Yes I will drop the car soon!

Before you spend ANY money on new tires make sure your wheels are true and not bent. Take it to a reputable shop with a Hunter GSP9700 road force machine (look here: http://www.gsp9700.com/pub/search/findgsp9700.cfm ) and have them check it. Once you know the wheels are good you can pick out your tires and have them balanced on the Hunter machine. Also be absolutely certain the installer uses a torque wrench with the correct specs.

You will appreciate the wheels much much more when they roll smoothly and they will look 100% better after your drop it with COILOVERS.

Edit: Forgot to mention, get an alignment too.

I have the same wheels on my car. They are cheap wheels so make sure they are true as the others have said. They dont look bad at all, with a drop, they will look good, but remember, to get the **** wheels, you gotta spend a bit, and I take it your on a budget if your looking at these.

Yeah! check them out and get coilovers. I never thought I would never say this...lower it!

overboost

nope. they're just brushed metal lips, the machined or polished lips if you will have a mirror finish to them.

Which brings me to the real wheels I wanted/want
