Default Wheel questions with a couple of pics

Just installed BC coilovers so I went more low . I have a set of Work Meister 18X9 and 18X10 with 42offset. I have been offered a trade for the same wheel but with a 22 offset front and a +6 offset rear. FWIW I drive it hard in a straight line. Don't care about the curvies to much I have others for that. Which set up do you guys think would look best. I have a fender roller and so no worries on the offset. So the question is what would you do?

Also I have this set of blitz on it now same size but with a +18 offset all around. Would you leave the Blitz on on?





Ignore the front it goes for new bumper next week.

The lower offset is fine if your into that sticking out look.. And or really stretch the tires and a lots of negative camber

I would go with the lower offset Meisters.

I like the Blitz wheels too. What color are the Meisters?

Meisters are everywhere. These Blitz wheels are, different, classy and simple. This set-up is a motivator. But it's you're car and if you're looking for something different...do you. I say paint the Blitz wheels black and call it a day!

I saw these wheels on a red Acura NSX, nothing but sweetness. I like the way it is now, but could go a little lower if you wanted. Keep us posted on the front bumper change out.

Definitely doesn't need lower offsets imo, but your own desire is what matters.

I'd keep the Blitz wheels you have now. If you run those Meister's you're probably going to need to run a 235 on the 10" wheel with a decent amount of camber. You said you like to drive hard in a straight line, you're not going to get any traction on that setup as it looks like your car is turbocharged.

Thanks for the input. I tried to go lower but I think I maxed them out. Meisters are for sale if anyone is interested.
