got a quote into my local parts guy on a set of work T7R in 18x8.5 +38mm. i decided to go with a normal wheel for this year so i can save up, do some good research, and buy a legit really nice set of wheels next year...which was the plan all along at the beginning of the thread. who am i to go against the plan? i'll run these in the winter, too.
these are the wheels:
they're pretty close to the stock wheels both looks and specs.
