I am looking to get 18 for my mini I just wanted to know where is the best place to get them I want 8 in front maybe 9 in the back I want the tires black but i want something very light???
What offsets do you plan on running to get 9's to fit? My guess is that you won't be able to find an offset that wouldn't rub without lots of trimming and tire stretch. Some people have run 17x9's but even that comes very close to rubbing and requires arch trimming.
agreed...18x8 or 18x7 would probably be a better bet if you're just starting out with aftermarket wheels....fitting wider wheels requires a lot of attention to offsets and fitment.
I have 17x7 right know the stock sport package deal but i want some 18x8 black with silver lip. They told me the lighter the wheel the faster the car will go because they weigh a lot they told me to go with the ssr but they seem really expensive are they good wheels?????
SSR's are good wheels and they do offer a nice light weight. Generally, 18's aren't really chosen for performance....they weigh more than the smaller wheels.
I would run a 16 or 17 imo....im currently running a heavy 18 and my handling is no where near where it was stock....thats also why i have a set of 16x7 supermesh in my living room waiting....

Never weighed them,but they sure look good...guess I just read all the Hamann propaganda
yah, i think the 18 inch version is something like 23+ pounds which is quite a bit more hefty than performance wheels. It's part of the heavier multi-piece design. They look amazing, but they aren't performance oriented.
