pic req: SF Challenge...
These wheels are 2 piece... and the only standard 18" widths that we can fit on our cars is 7.5" on front and 8" on back... and that REALLY pisses me of... 8" is WAY too narrow for what I want..
Besides that, for anyone that is interested in these wheels, I will say that the fitment isn't great. If you are even SLIGHTLY lowered on soft-ish springs, you will rub like CRAZY on the Front and back, but mostly front. I have Tein S-tech springs and they are not a good combination with these wheels IMO. I'm not too fond of the S-Techs anyways. I love how the drop looks, but I hate that they are so soft. I have actually lost a few tires because the rubbing would cause gashes in the tires and I'd just have to change them because I'm too paranoid.

In regards to fitment. I am running Tein Flex coilovers set on 16 (hardest setting). The only contact I get is with the fender clips on very aggressive roads, i.e. the Dragon run in Tennessee.
Around town no real problems. Also because of the offset BBK are out of the question unless you get wheel spacers. For this reason, I have upgraded rotors and brake fluid, using stock pads. Even when pushing it with the s/c I have no problem with hard braking repeatively.
Good luck if you consider!

I've got a set of these too... I actually considered moving the 8" inch rear to the front and then purchasing two 9" +48et's for the back since lots of people seem to be running aggressive setups nowadays...
I love the way these wheels look. I may be selling mine though because I'm looking for a new look.
Good luck!
