I've been waiting very impatiently for about a month now for these to come in and they finally arrived Friday! Got em through CruizinConcepts, first experience with them and I have to say it was a good one, thankfully. They were very helpful and kept me up to date with where my wheels were.

I did a lot of research on what wheels I wanted. Was set on the SVE Drifts but they didn't have the 18's in the right offset and then I didn't want the RTR's because they only came in 19's. Not knocking them, just wanted 18's. Also looked at the ASA's and Bremmers cause I know one yall are rocking them and they looked damn good but the only had those in a 18x8 for our cars. Thought about the TSW's but didn't want to spend that much. So I found these and saw CC had em and went for em.

Also went with Continental ExtremeContact DW 255/45 up front and 275/40 out back. Surprisingly both sizes weigh the same, 26lbs. According to TireRack that is. Anywho I'll stop here before I begin to ramble..

When they arrived!!!
Out the box:

BTW if anyone is wondering, I looked everywhere to see how heavy these things were but couldn't find it. According to FedEx the wheels weighed 22lbs for a total of 88lbs shipping weight but I highly doubt that cause these felt heavier then 22lbs. Now I know home scales aren't the best but I did weigh both the stock and Niche wheels with tires. Not that much heavier thankfully.

Stock 54.5lb:

Niche 57lb:

I love the look. I really wanted that style of wheel, but too many people are doing it now. Looks good, and get a grille to go with that CS Fascia!

When did black wheels get so popular? Everyone who buys a set of wheels buys black.

They do look good though.

Those are heavy as shit. TSW Nurburgrings are half that weight.

Yea I was a bit bummed when I actually weighed them. SVE Drifts are a better price and weight just don't have the right offset for 05+. But amazingly I don't feel the 2.5lb (per wheel) weight difference with these. :thumbsup: However, the GT500's I put on my 07', I had felt every bit of how heavy they were.

They look great man.
They're a little heavy for my taste.

See above and thanks man! :beer:

Your car looks great with the wheels.

Mucho appreciated! :rockon:


They are! :pepper:

What is it with all of the Louisiana people on this board? We have to be the majority. We should all get together some time and compare notes.
