What do you think of these rims?



They are ACE Manta's.
Most likely these are theWheelsI will be getting over the summer.
The color of the lexus is almost the same as my neon's color.
They are 18x7.5 same as my rims now with the same series tires.

Too big for my taste, but they should be nice if you like the style.

Go for it[sm=smiley20.gif]

To djmagic:
I know the damge will be hopefully be fixed by december.

To KARR:
I found these rims at:
https://www.edgeracing.com/

To Izero/Freerider:
Because I bought the car with 18's on it, thats what looks right in my mind for being on the car.
I love that they fill up the wheel wells yet doesn't take any functionality away.
The only style wheels that I really like are 5 spoke, I just dont think the 5+ spoke wheels fit on neons, they kinda look wierd.

To Izero:
There should be no fitment issue because the measurements are the same as the tires and rims on the car currently. Maybe the last owner put struts in there when they did the springs????
I never really checked if i had upgraded struts
That would explain why other people have issues with the same size tires and rims.
These rims are almost like my current rims minus the color, they both have the same basic lines for the spokes and how they bow in at the hub.
I would have loved to get anouther set of the rims thats on my car but they aren't made anymore.
Here is a pic of the current wheels on the car.( they really look ugly in the pic but on the car they look nice)




Thankyou for your comments.

I am really into 5-spokes myself. I am investing in a set of Flik FTD's when I save up the money. I keep being swayed by cheaper performance parts than to buy any more tires.
