Evo 5 in hyperblack, no question. They were my first choice when I looked for wheels before my budget disappeared.

I would def say evo5's but....make sure they actually have them in stock. Alot of companies are out for a while, and I've been told Enkei doesn't know when they'll have them available. I wanted them really bad before, but I didn't wanna sit there and wait.

If you can get'em...evo5's!

18x.7.5 I think the offset is 35 if I remember correctly. Tires, probably 225/40R18. Search the many, many threads on wheel size and such because I'm no pro when it comes to this sort of thing.

Anyone see a problem with going with Evo 5 17x7s? I wan't to stick with 17's so I can be cheap and use the stock tires. Another reason for 17's is because I have hotchkis springs and I want to keep that look. Also what offset & bolt pattern would they be?

Bolt pattern will always be the same, 5x100, but I don't know about offset.
