It's a nice lightweight design, but I am wondering if these wheels really can overpower the NYC potholes. I'm thinking to use these as a strictly summer setup with semi-slicks or at least UHP summers. 18x9.5 ET35 with 245/40 tires - maybe wider tire though, haven't decided. I do want a stretch though and I do want them to be stanced pretty aggressively.

Anyone know about these? Any experience? Tracking, daily driving - whatever, wanna know how these are in real life.

TIA
V.

Vincent (inspire e60) has them in 18's. Thought they would look too small. They look pretty good.

for that bro I would go with forgestars. I think they use the same forming technique and weight less than oem wheels. I have had my F14 for a month or so and they look solid and well built.

Do forgestars even come in 18"?

-yes they do! And i can spec my own offset. But I'm still worried about the potholes...
