Ordered from tirerack with exclaim's 18x8.5 in the front 19x9.5 in the back. Very classy wheels and everybody loves em. Came with the center cap already installed. THEY WERE LIGHTER THAN STOCK!! I am definitely happy to get rid of the runflats. Now the car feels like it's ridin on clouds haha. Check em out

Be VERY VERY careful with those. I bent 3, thats right, 3 of those wheels in the course of a month. Two were on the same slightly irregular manhole cover, while one was on a little hole in the road no larger than the footprint of a tissue box and no deeper than about 3". I mean, things that were hardly felt in the car, and visibly looked like it could never do any damage, would bend them. I eventually repaired and sold them, couldn't take it anymore.

Well I tested these wheels verrrrrrry thoroughly (Meaning i took a jump going 60 mph and then hit a left turn

) and there is no problem at all. I don't know what was wrong w yours but those must have been some very awkward holes you hit. Plus i live in va where the roads are very good. I have never bent a wheel (Crossed Fingers)

Alright then, I mean it's common sense to avoid road irregularities with any low profile wheel setup but it's not always possible, so just giving you a heads up on my experiences. Other than that, enjoy the wheels, they are indeed very pretty to look at
