Cool New 18s going on the GS soon

I finally picked up some work VSXXs after looking for a while for a good setup. fronts are 18x9 +9 offset, rears are 18x11 +20 offset. i've searched around and haven't really seen anyone rock 18s, especially in the size i have. so if you have 18s, please share! anyways onto pictures.. these were taken with my phone, i'll have better ones up tonight hopefully.

I want to see this done. The fronts will fit as long as your car is low, stretched tires, rolled fenders. The rear will take a bit of work but it'll look really good.

Those gold VS-XX look good. I'm on 18's right now but have some 19" rims sitting in storage waiting for tires. One thing with 18" rims is you'll have to slam the car to get that same look as larger diameter rims. Your car will be real low. My friend's car running on 20" rims looks lower visually since there is virtually zero fender gap and his rim lip sits closer to the fender than mine, but my car is actually more than an inch lower than his, but doesn't have the same visual effect.

No matter though, those gold VS-XX rims are one of my all time favorite rims. What color car are these going on? I'd love to see them on a white car.
