I think he was just saying that because he has 18's of the same wheel.

BTW, the car looks killer! I was considering ordering a CR/CR and doing the black wheel thing.... it looks awesome.

Finally got around to taking some pics of Simon's new shoes.
17x7.5 Konig Holes. Graphite w/polished lip.
Nexen 3000GT 215/40ZR17

These wheels look good, but I'm saving for a set of Gram Lights.

my slipstreams have always been autocross only. I have had the rewinds as my street wheels for the past 6 months or so.
