#2 I'm going with 18's front will probably be 18x7.5 50,but for the rear I got 3 options 8.5 47, 8.5 52, or 9.0 50. Lookin for performance but want something aggressive what do u guys thinking?

Which one is actually more aggressive 8.5 +47 or 9.0+63? Is there any decent places to get volks anymore?

+47 would be more aggresive, +63 is a safer offset

I went on tbe Rays website and called all their dealers to get the best price.
Most of the dealers get them from Mackin Industries which is the exclusive distributor.
I eventually placed my order from Kamispeed

I would never sacrifice performance over looks...if you can have both then great, but if it were me, I'd go with the wider wheel...jm2c
