Nice wheels What is the size, offset and are you going to lower your car?
Are the calipers painted or powdercoated? What other mods are you planning to do?

To be honest these rims are 18x7.5 all the way around...the rear rims were made with the blades bout 2 inches or so deeper within the rim and gives u the illusion that the rear rims are twice as wide as they really are ofcourse u can put wider tires on the rear and somewhat stagger it. but i have
225 40 R18 all the way around. I had the shop put on 235 40 R18's but it was too bulky and looked as though it may rub. do u guys think i should use 235 35 R18's on the rear? or maybe even 245 35 R18? oh and they had to put a 3mm (guessing here) spacer on the rear as well. I do infact plan on lowering it too but thats later on down maybe 4 to 5 months. my calipers are painted with that caliper paint they sell at autozone (the kind u hand brush on). i really dont plan on modding anything performance wize cept maybe intake and a HKS exhaust just gonna try to pimp her out.

not a fan of motegis, but to each their own.
and i think if you were lower, it would look better.

Any plans to lower it?

It doesn't seem like many 1IS guys finish the job...
