Have you seen these in person? I actually sold these before. I used to deal with rims and tires but i mainly deal with tires now. I went across these in a catalog and thought they looked decent. I ordered in a set and was disappointed when I saw their quality up close in person.. Sold the set for dirt cheap.. If you don't expect anyone to look at your wheels up close, then these are fine because they look decent from a distance...

I had a set of H5's on my 92SC4. I loved them. Quality wasn't bad either. Never had any peeling of the paint, bends,e tc. They are on my friends 92 SC4 now an they are still holding up just fine. Here's a pic of my 92 with them on it.

What were the specs on the wheels? What size tires did you run? Any rubbing issues with the car lowered?

I have 19's and they took about 2 days to get used to - but now I love them. I had 17's and they were waay to small, so I am guessing 18's would have felt the same.

Go with 19's

So Ive heard alot about the wheels and pro & cons of the two sets I mention Stern ST2 & HP racing Evo's I also looked at the HPD10 another hp racing wheel a little different but same quality I'm gonna assume . For now I'm on a new tip The Zenetti Duece Color cordinated with the car & chrome Still up in the air on size though ! 18's or 19's so whats the ideal tire sizes for either at stock height I definatlety going staggered either way If possible post some pics with both sizes if you guys dont mind so we can see what's hot & whats not

sounds good for the front.. but rears need a lower offset if thats the same size all around.. but many have ran those, but IMO, you would need a lower offset to make it a little more flush for the rears.. plus with this size.. you need to roll or cut your fender for the front if your car is slammed.... 19x8 would need a good +20 offset at least to make it more flush on the rear

Greg... If you are not lowering this car, then don't get 18's or 19's. It will only look worse. Stay with your stocks until you can properly lower the car with springs or coilovers and (if over an inch drop) a camber kit.
