Are those 18"? VB3's or 718's? Any idea on offsets and tire sizes? I want to run this exact fitment on my own car.

Hahaha...I managed to keep mine fresh for 6 months. Then too excited for Bubble Tea and forgot to stop I curbed the front wheel. Then a year later I was shopping at a Lexus dealership and my car didn't like that so she put a curb in when I turned too early and the rear hit. Three years later I was storing them when I knocked one of the uncurbed one onto the concrete...it fell flat on it's face with no roll. 90% of the outside finish was chipped off. It's now flakes on the concrete...LOL. I have one more wheel to damage now!!

I'm planning on getting the CSL reps in 18x8.5. I don't want to run staggered, so I plan to keep the 225 width. Will the stock sports package suspension be low enough? Gap right now is 2 fingers exact in front, & 2 fingers tight in the back.

Hey guys I'm about to mount some tires on to my v718 and I was just reading stories of the paint chipping super easy and it kinda has me worried can you tell me your experience with the finish and how good it holds up with chips and such?

If you go to the right shop they should not have any issues when mounting tires. We use Hunter equipment here, we mount tires regularly, and we do not have any issues chipping the paint off of the wheels at all.

We recommend 18x8.5 ET35 front and 18x9.5 ET45 rear on that car with 235/40/18 front tires and 255/35/18 rear tires typically. If you're lowered though you may end up rubbing.
