What's up CL,


My GF surprised me by getting me WEDS LXZs for my birthday. The wheels she got were 18x9.5 & 18x11. At first I didn't think anything of it, then when I told my buddy, he said it's gonna look tiny on my car. So now I'm in a predicament.


If anybody is running 18" wheels on their car, could you please post a pic? I wanna see how it looks and I don't want to go through the hassle of having to sell these wheels then find 19".


Thanks!

non f sports are 18", but if your lowered, shouldnt matter.

Try to return your gf's gift, see what happens lol

dphu626

it was a private seller so I can't exactly return it. she's ok with the idea of me selling it and getting 19s.


and non-f sports are 17". I have a non f sport lol

Dang that sucks! lol

Tiny or not really depends on the design imo. Premium comes with 17 and optional 18. Old luxury came with 18. New luxury and f sports come with 19. Here are a shot of the luxury with stock 18 and f sport with 19. From a distance they don't look that much different imo.

I am sure it will look good

Stay with your 18" - it has a lovely ride.
The 19"'s have a very busy and terse ride; fine if you like it.

Aftermarket Enkei 18"


OEM 19"

Well my plan is to lower the front probably 1.5in and the back 2in. I believe I will also need to get a camber kit for the back.

I think I will stick with the 18s but so indecisive lol

18" vs 19" doesn't make a huge impact visually:

This is incorrect. Standard wheels are 17s, but these cars are pretty rare. Premium and 13-14 Luxury 4GS models have 18s

dphu626

You're absolutely right. I was talking about the base. The whole time I've had my car, I thought I had 17". Well guess what, they're 18"

dphu626

Thanks for this! It's making my decision a little more easy to make. I think I will stick with the 18s and upgrade later if I feel like it.

Yea if u have 17s that means ur car is really basic. I've never seen a base GS with 17s in person, most are 18s and 19s for FSports.

17's belong on an ES.

My CT has 17s too.
