Cheap repro wheels...
I don't have the money now for some CCW's and I havn't decided if I want to tub the car so I bought a set of ZO6 18x12 repros for the rear-I don't remember what I paid-around $275-$300 just to have something to put my 305/35/18 Nitto RII's on.
They do stick out more or less an objectional 1.25" inch measured from above vertically down a line through the center of the wheel. I don't have photos and will probably not have them 'til I figure out how to work my new digital camera and post photos on CF!
Anyway I just wanted to post this in case someone else wants to get a set due to the low price. I will keep them for a while and probably get some 18x11 CCW's for the rear if they fit without tubbing.
I am not saying they are no good-just that they stick out and of course they are heavy, but they suit my immediate need and I may be wearing them for a while
The Nitto's really grip-I was surprised!
I have a reasonably good suspension on my car and lots of HP and they performed well laterally and straight ahead compared to my F1 supercars and Yoko AVS tires (295/35/18), previous tires.

PLEEEZE.......Keep me in mind when you decide to sell these Zo6 style 18x12s. I want to use them with 18x10.5 up front. I will put M&S winter season tires on my wagon wheels when the G-Force tires wear out...and then want to put the wide ones on.
