i have a set of 4 18 x 9.5's sitting in my garage

...but they're awaiting some new paint so that they can go on my car. hehe.

i got mine from ebay. i got them one at a time, picking through the auctions, choosing wheels depending on what shape they were in, and trying to get the best deal possible. all mine have minor paint blemishes, and i'm just waiting for the time and money to get 'em redone.
i'm not saying that ebay is the best way to go about it, that's just how i did.

good luck!

soon, i plan on test fitting them on my car to see if any spacers will be required, so i am still unsure if they'll bolt right on without any fitment issues.

i plan on redoing them in a silver, preferably a darker silver, but not sure if i want to go as dark as a gunmetal....

The 18x9.5" wheels will fit on all four corners. You may have to pound your inner rear fender just a bit so the tires don't rub, but it's nothing major.

I have one stripped 18. I had the same Idea, but ended up selling the rest because i thought the wheels sat too far in on rear. I dont like that look. Give me an offer if your interested.
