Damn dude who makes those? Can you get them in 17x8 by any chance? And what kind of camera phone are you using to get clear pics like that?! lol (seriously)

Can't wait to see the car dude...

Very nice! I almost went with those wheels but decided on my 17's instead. Can't wait to see what they look like on your car.

Very nice wheels! you've done a lot of work to your car this year.
you'll have a better chance of finding styles of wheels in 9 inch width if you do a 5-lug swap. My wheels were available in 18x9 but I just went with what could be rotated front to back. I'm too practical sometimes

one reason im thinking just going 8.5 all around.... that way it rotatable.. wide.. but not to wide where it would look wetodid up front... oh and 17's 18 is to bling for me. to much weight also tryin to stay close to 20lbs a rim or less as possible

you need to get the offset just perfect up front to fit the 8.5 in on a lowered car. I think +12mm is about right but check for yourself.

I have 8 inch wide and it just barely clears the strut on the inside and if I turn my wheel and hit a bump the tire rubs on the outside.... too close
