I know someone that has 18" rims with tires. I think he wants $1000 for them.


Me on the other hand, I'm picking these up. Should arrive in a week.

Inexpensive = Team Dynamics Pro Race 1

http://www.rimstock.co.uk/rimstockus...ckframeset.htm

Select Wheel Ranges, then Pro Race 1

8kg = 18lbs


They come in 5 lug. They're 45 offset which seems to work fine on my stock suspension - '01 2.5 RS.
