What to do...
CarrG:
Nice. I like the way the spoke goes to the edge of the rim. :happy2:
T88OMM:
Nice rimmage, hyper silver for me :happy2:
Hurdy:
I've seen the 18's in hyper black and they would look superb on a black car. :happy2:
As for your question on will they clear the arches and not rub....that would depend on the offset of course.
My Pro race alloys were 18 x 8 with a 45 offset and only rubbed under maximum compression and even then only a slight touch, but that was with the arch liner mod and I am sitting pretty much 35-40mm lower than stock. Also remember that you will most likely be going for 235 section tyres which are a little larger in circumference and width. Without a drop I'd think you'll be okay.
Oh, my BBS CH's are 19" x 8" with 235 section rubber and 48 offset and don't rub at all - amazing what 3mm further in does :happy2:

Yea i have then in Hyperblack on my last black car and they did look good, just not sure for this one. Out of interest, why go for a 235 section tyre? 225/35 is closer to the std radius...
So it seems either Hb or Hs then......
