Opinions wanted on 18" alloys

Post by Justin Time »

Just wondering if i could get an opinion? What do you think of these alloys being placed on a non M Z?

18" Staggered Alloys

Thanks to Dav for pointing this set out. The offsets are ideal and I like the styling, but wanted to get a second opinion before I fork out a thousand on alloys and tyres.

They look nice although a lot of the dish is gained by have the spokes bend out then in (if you get me) due to the offset not lending itself to a dish like the rear M wheel (ie a flat spokes with a big dish outwards).

They do look good though.

Also consider Dotz Mugello, they are a very nice wheel also;

These are nice too but not sure if they're available in staggered fitment;
