Living in SF, there's simply no way I can lower the car without having issues in driveways, potholes, you name it. Stock ride height for now...

18x8.5 ET 45
18x11 ET 38

Original tire sizes for now, but I am looking at the 245/40 & 315/30 combo when it's time.

The color is simply noted as 'silver'. Gunmetal would be too dark for my taste with a seal gray car--wanted some contrast. As it is, the wheels seem to darken in lower light, but are very bright (and glossy) in direct sunlight.

I asked as they seem a lot brighter than what brushed aluminum looks like. Enjoy em!

I keep lookin at some oz. Man those wheels (and fstars for that matter) are a good value.

Very nice, Formula 43 makes a great product. I have a set for my '66 Nova and went to their facility and got a complete tour of their manufacturing process. Great people, too.

They're on par with CCW Beating out the more expensive forged wheels. They're nearly as strong as HREs (non mono-block) and much lighter too.

Absolutely. Their quality is some of the best I've seen and I have had more sets of wheels from more manufacturers than I care to count.
