Hey, does anyone know where I can find these in 18"? Tires.com has them in 17" in 5x100 but not 18".

Vivid Racing has them for $239 for the 17's and $274 for the 18's.

There are many sets for sell on ebay too!

I believe all the sets are 18"

the price starts at 790USD

I think these are damn nice rims!! forged too~

don't know if BBS made them for enkei though.....

I have these on my 2002 Blaze yellow WRX and I have 235/40/17 tires and I would strongly suggest not going with the 18's if you plan on driving on the street. Yes they would look cool but I have come very close to bending one of mine and a 18 would be even worse. Plus from every thing I read about 18's on a WRX it would kill performance. Go with some springs and 17's

Just my $.02 worth

Mine are 48mm offset

Go look at my car pics in the Gallery

They look just like the BBS wheels. Will 48mm offset work on a wagon?

I don't know about the wagon. I have seen the OZ wheels in 48mm on a wagon but I think you would need to go with 225/45/17 tires to be safe.

Also several sights say my wheels are forged but they are not. When I had the tires mounted you could see the casting marks. They are very nice wheels and I am 100 % satisfied with them. I bought these local for $205.00 each but I saw them at www.tires.com for $220.00 each plus free shipping.

I just ordered the Enkei RPM2's from Whalen Tire for my wagon. 50mm offset and Kumho 225-45r17s. Good prices and service.

They only come in Hyper Black and look silver on the face. The inset part is black
