Pretty much set on the Work Emotions CR Kai. They fit my taste and budget just perfect.

Another question for all you wheel *experts: What do you think about a offset staggered fitment such as 17x9,44mm FR and 18x9.5,38mm RR??? I would like to go more aggressive in the rear, for looks mainly =)

I knew the risk when I bought them. Some people rub with this offset, some don't. My HKS coilovers should take care of the problem; 13k front spring rates If not I'll have to go with some spacers.

that 18x9.5 for the rear w/ +38 would stick out big time. you meant 17inch right?

That is correct, Marc. Looking at the picture Hiep posted that does look more aggressive than I'd like. I think I'll just stick to the 17x9,44 all around.

Thanks guys, this really helped as I don't have very much time researching - back to work now! I could count on you guys on helpful information.

Bad news. Work CR emotions are disco'd in the specs I want. They make them in 38mm offsets now only and I will need to wait 5-6 wks for them. Not good..
