if you want bling - excellent decision. If you value performance, bad decision. Those wheels look very nice - but they are heavy. my .02

I say go for it. I really like those wheels. Chrome might be a bit much, though. Just make sure you keep your stock tires around for track days.

like everyone said... looks good, but heavy, and probably not as strong as the more expensive forged rims tirerack offers...

if i was going to get those rims, I would combo it w/ the kumho 712s. why spend the extra cash on s02 if you're not into performance anyway? besides, the kumho is cheaper, lasts longer, and is better in the rain. my .02.

What are the wheel widths and offsets you are planning to get?

The Evo 5 is 18X8 ET50 and 18X9 ET55. I don't have the wheel in chrome but the paint they use is a high aluminum based paint that has more of a shine to it.
If I can help let me know.
