so i finaly found a set of 18s i actually like. milt will be so proud. 18' Volks, pictures are below. im stoked to get them on. offset is 49, im guessing ill have to run a 5mm or 10mm spacer to make them fit correctly. give me your opinions as usual.

hmmm. Those are hot wheels.

They are cool but i have a feeling the 2nd gen stockers are smoother and flows better.

Whats the width of those wheels?

I spy a small dent there.

but wow volks! how much u spend on those?

I kinda agree with the GEN2 rims flowing better...cuz the volks look a little rigid...but it will still look amazing though...

I think to really complete the look with those 18s...you need a bigger drop...I know your car is pretty low already, but you should slam it!!

definitely a good choice

hot rims!

and nice solara!

Wow. :o
Looks nice man.
Yeah you should swap out to Gen 1 tail lights man. 8)
I agree the Gen 2 rims look really good on your car.
The Volk's would look good too.
And yeah did notice a slight bend in the lip of the 2nd Volk rim from the right, left of the shadow.

I love the look of the gen. 2 wheels, but I may be a bit biased :D

If you're going to go aftermarket, you can't go wrong with volks. I'm sure it will look hot. Very nice ride!
