which polished rims
Hi i'm thinking of buying new wheels and am looking for something with split rim/ split rim look polished rims. Have to be 18" though as don't want to go up to 19's as i'm happy with the ride comfort etc already. What would you very knowledgable people recommend? ps any pics appreciated.

Split rim look as in a 2piece or 3 piece, something with a center and lip with or without bolts? Your question is so vague to be honest with you, there are 100's of wheels out there that match your description lol, i'll be glad to help, let me know exactly what your looking for, one rim as an example and i'll find you alot like it!

sorry you thought i was vague its just all the wheels in europe i was looking at seemed to be 19s and as such theres not much choice in 18's especially with the rears having to 11" wide. I'm looking for something with a large rear lip, takes the original centres, silver only. Quite like ssr gt3's but couldn't find pics of 18s on a car, if there available in the right width? thanks.

Ok now we are getting somewhere, there are lots of manufacturers who make 18's to 20's in crazy widths and fat lips, 2 and 3piece. I really think you should look at iforged wheels for what you want imo, big lips, forged construction and any color center you want, hre is obviously good as well as kinesis, cargraphic, champion wheels etc.. I mentioned iforged because of their extreme fit technology for the biggest lip possible, take a look at the wheel thread, post up a few your interested in and I will point you in an even better direction

I'm really liking the ssr gt3's on the convertible above. Really suits the black, which i have. What sort of price do you guys think a set of 18x 8.5's/11's would come in at roughly. Tried tirerack for my car and it came up about $2300 is this a good deal? Thanks again for everybodys help!
