Default whats your opinion on these wheels?

sometime in the coming up future i will have a chance to get my hands on a set of enkei aegis 18" wheels for a pretty good price. i think they are 18x8 up front and 18x8.5 in the rear. im not exactly sure on the offsets. these wheels are discontinued but my cousin is going to upgrade to some different wheels and ive always liked these so i might buy them from him. here is what they look like on his car. does anyone have pics of these on a sc and do yall think they are worth getting?

It would be better to go wider for sure, but if it's what you want to do then do it up.

factory wheels are wider...

Go big or go home.

18x10.5 +15 fit perfect on those cars and you can easily fit a 18x12 in there

uhm, factory wheels are 16x7 so i dont see how there wider plus ive seen one of these rear wheels off the car and i know that its wider than the factory.

and i dont want to go with a real agressive set up, at least not right now

He might be referring to the Supra TT stock wheels, those are 9.5" wide in the rear I believe. If you don't want too aggressive I would still consider going a bit wider, in the range of 8.5"F and 9.5" rear. It depends more on the offset

If the price is right, go for it. Don't always have to have wide wheels; you may need a set of spacers to push the wheels out a bit.
