My friends, what do you think about Tireracks offering of the following:

AT ITALIA S5. There is something about this rim that I like.

18" rims = 245 Tires and the only available are these Yokohamas DBS, something like that.

Anyone have these rims and have any thoughts?

Thanks!

If you're going to get 18's, I higly recommend getting staggered sizes or don't bother. Once you see the staggered setup, the rear stock 17s look so inset. Even my wife, who has NO interest in cars, realizes how much better my car looks with bigger feet on the back.

I agree. That's one heavy wheel. Ugh. You're probably talking about another six pounds per wheel which equals at least 144 pounds in weight. That's a handicap.
