I have black rims with silver lip on mine and I get a lot of compliments on em... personally its not my style of rim though (the ones you picked) but if your happy then that's all that matters.

FYI, mine are 18 X 7.5 with kyb struts and ark springs and I don't rub at all... not sure about 18 X 8 though

 

if your gonna go with that style go with something like Tenzo R DC-5 V2

 

+1 Tenzo's are pure sex lol... i am going to get bronze ones in the future i do believe... American racing makes good rims just not the tibby style... my rims are hideous so shhh..... they will be changing thursday...

 

I don't mind the black and sliver lip at all, but I don't really like the fake rivet look.

Honestly, I like the idea, but I think you can do better.

EDIT: tibbyT is def. right. Those Tenzo's are sick.

 

+1 about rivets, I never liked them on any style of rims

tibbyT's suggested rims look way better IMO

 

I personally wouldnt go with them i would deff do that tenzo style but the rims arent bad but you can find a better wheel

 

I have rims like that except they're chrome and I don't like them very much because if you plan on painting the calipers you can barely see the color. However, its your car and you can do w/e you'd like.

 

Does anyone know if the

TSW Thruxton in 18s would for my tiburon? Thanks !

You're gonna need to be a little more descript there mysterio! 18" wheels will fit depending on the width of the wheel and the offset of the wheel. Check the stickied topics at the top of the wheel/tire/suspension section and you should be able to see what fits well. In general an 18X7.5 wheel should be good to go provided there's an offset that's not too low.

To the OP, unless you're buying a set of 2 or 3 piece forged wheels there shouldn't be any of those fake rivets on them. It takes away from the wheel. The Tenzos that were posted are a much cleaner style. Just say no to black wheels with polished lips!

With your color Tib, get something clean and sexy like the MRR GT2 in Bronze.

They are sexy time!

 

if i say i think theyre ugly are you not going to get them?

 

They look alright
but after seing the Tenzo's that Tibby T just posted i gotta say you should go with the tenzo's...there really nice looking =)
I go with the tenzo's =)

 

another question, would the Tenzo rims in 18x8's rub? my tib is lowered with ARK springs.

 

If you get the 18x8+45 you should be good with the mild 1.3 inch drop Ark springs give.

 

thanks again tibbyT

 

either the ones above me or the Tenzo's id say

 

i actually have the falken torque 5's on my car. they are 18x7. i think they look good but i like the other suggestions too

here are some pics

 

honestly, i dont mind spending like 1500 bucks on a nice set of 18" rims. i see what your saying now. i do like that style of rim that you posted. also the rims that tibbyT posted also come in a dark bronze color. im now starting to think that the dark bronze will add a lil flare.

 

My split-5 spoke wheels > all other split-5 spoke wheels in this thread. That is all.

 

what a conceded noob haha. i like your rohs but in the thread i like the tenzos. concave ftw

 

Those tenzos wont be nearly that concaved in a +45

 

im not too concerned if they are concaved or whatever. i want to get the proper offset so they dont rub since im lowered.

 

go with the 37 offset if youre scared about rubbing. rolling your rear fender you will never rub. on an 8 in wide wheel 35 is dead on for front and about 15 mm away from perfect in the rear imo

 

My favorite split 5 spoke wheels.

Wedsport TC05 -Not made anymore Replaced with the TC105N

I know it sucks my bud wanted some of those for his 3K gt

sucks.

 

Those OG wheels that the op posted are hideous, granted i have 18 chromies but they werent my decision i would go with tenzo r- dc-5 like someone posted above.

those wheels look like they were designed using a flower template.
