Default Buying new wheels!!!

Hey everyone,

I need some help on new wheels. I'm looking at buying a set of Keskin KT2's. I love speed lines but cannot afford them so I figured these would work well. The size will be 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. Offset is ET52 both front and rear. I will be running 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 rears. Doesn anyone know if these will fit my NB 964? Here is a pic of the wheel in question:




Going on this....




Thanks you in advance!!

Derek

I think the wheels you have currently look great. You can't beat the black on black.

Well the wheels currently on the car are much better quality (3 piece works) vs. one piece but I love the style of the KT2's. I don't know. I love changing up wheels to get a different look!

+ 1 on sticking with the black (and yes, the ones you are considering will fit).

Listen to them!!! The car looks fantastic... those wheels are the bomb, especially with the black centres. I wouldn't be changing a thing.

I don't even like black wheels, but I have to agree, those look great!

That said, of course, do what you want. The KT2's will look great, too.

How much does the KT2's weigh vs the Works wheels? Personally, I like the Works wheels (in silver or black) vs the Speedline replica's.

My 18s fit with 15mm spacer in the rear. Not sure of my offset though.
My vote is for the black. Looks exceptionally good on the black car.

The Speedline looks are the best looking wheels for our cars, imho of course... but I have to agree, your car looks fantastic with your current setup. Those black center wheels look awesome!! I vote to leave it as is...
