I'd also like to know. I want 18" rims with the fat drag-looking tires. Not trying to spend $50,000 on a wheel set though.

Thinking about the forgestar f14 18x10 for road racing myself. Just now sure about clearance or what offset would work... Both Nurburgring and the F14s look great!

Can't help much, I went with Forgestars F14s (20 - 21 lbs), 18x9.0 front, 18x10.0 rear. I stayed with only 10" wide rear to save weight.
But the TSW Nurburgrings are actually lighter (18-19 lbs).
I just happened to like the concave look of the Forgestars a little better.

Take a look at Forgestar CF5's and TSW Interlagos. Both nice fitting 18's that look really good.

i got cf5 from Nineball in 18x9.5 on all four corners for track wheels. Honestly my opinion is the best 18 inch wheel is the lightest that you can afford and stand to look at

I LOVE the concave look, but the forgestars just are not concave enough for me, i cant tell that much.
and the rims i want that are super deep concave, are over grand a rim... stupid high.

If you want the drag racing look, you can go with Welds or Bogarts.
