Default New rims, not on yet, but what do you think?

This is what my car looks like






I went to the rim shop and found these.. they have a huge lip which is why i liked them and they're 18's. they quoted me $1099.00 with nangkook tires and installation all together.
Is that a good price? and does anyone have these already? thanks, i'm pretty picky when it comes to my car, so all feedback is appreciated.

I wanted 19's, but they didn't have much of a 19" rim stock..


p.s... here's a picture of my Chihuahua Chico.

Are these staggered?
Offsets?
Widths?

Sticking with 18's will give you cheaper tire options, 19 inch tires are generally more expensive. The larger side wall of the 18's will also absorb bumps in the road a bit better.

I think the ADR's will look much better if if they are horribly sunken in and only 6.5'' wide.

But as 3Rotor asked, whats the widths and offsets?

Those are the adr m-classics i believe. I have a set of those except in silver on my car. 18x8.5 f and 18x9.5 r they look good on the car. For the price you are going to be paying just save up a few more hundred and get a really nice set.

Save up for better wheels. I have some G games with 98% tread up front and 80% rear if interested.

I'd say get the Linea Corse wheels for a bit more.
