Default Need opinons on rims

Looking at a set of 18" Motegi DP6 rims, hyper black +45mm offset. I'm buying these used their 3 weeks old. But they come with 215/40/18 tires.
Wondering how they would look ? and if the tires are an issue?
Thanks

Hey man, nice wheels! What's the width on those bad boys? Check out the ones in my wheel opinion thread. Tell me what you think.

Tires will be way too small for the SC300/400. The offset is too small also. The tires will sit too far inside the wheel well. Do some research and you will find the correct sizing for our cars. If you were looking for something in that design, Id say go for the Volk LE-37's. They are lightweight, forged and come in the correct sizing for our cars.

thanks for the imput, found out this myself the hard way.....went to look at the rims today and test fitted them...didn't look too great.
Style wise, I really like the Racing hart cx rims (3piece) but they are out of my budget...anyone know of similar rims?

you can try looking for a set of used m5s or c5s, you should be able to find a decent set for a reasonable price
