Bit..I think it will fit for big brake set up because I have almost 2 inches of clearance on the front. Me and DR.Rick looked at it and we think it will clear for the Supra TT brake set up, but I don't know about Brembo or AP. The offset on the front is +36 and +41 on the rear.
Thanks gs4will. Yes I got it from wheeloptions from El Monte,CA and talk to the guy named Vick. He seems to be pretty knowdledgable and took about 4 days before they shipped it out. I have no idea why they try to sell the knockoff work rims.

Post offset

If you purchase face 2 all the way around. 18x9 +42 (high pad) and 18x10 +37 you should be okay. it has lot of clearance..
but if you want to make sure, you should get tech. drawing of brake kit, and summit to Mackin Industries. productinfo@mackinindustries.com

The weight on 18x9.0 (for front) is 29lbs
The weight on 18x10.0 (for rear) is 30lbs

Since they are two piece wheels, they are heavier than one piece forged monoblock. however, the face piece is forged.

That's kind of heavy. I thought Volks would be lighter for some reason.

I have the GT-C for my 99 Honda Accord, tire size 225/40/18, and am wondering will the rim and the tire fit on my 2014 GS350? Currently on my GS350 I have 235/45/18 lexus rim. Unfortunately, I don't know what is the GT-C rim size, is there a way to find out on the rim itself? I really like the GT-C look and am hoping they will fit. Any suggestions or comments welcome, thanks!
