Default Lets try this again.

Take a look. I am trying to make a decission on 18" rims. I was ready to go with the turbo twists untill I saw these. Fronts are 18x8 et 47 with 225/40/18 and the rear are 18x9 et52 with 265/35/18. Has anyone gone with this look and are you happy?

nice, but what's the weight of these? Moda wheels are sometimes very heavy dependent on model.

I asked TireRack about the weights of some of their Moda wheels for 993s and was shocked and appalled at the weights they told me.

IMHO, those wheels would look good on a BMW. I really like the 18" twists much more.

Tom, I like your choice, not because 18" twists don't look great but they are not too different, almost common from what I see.

I love 5 spokes but I especially love this type where the spoke goes all the way to the tyre.

I would like to know more about the weight issue and the effects because I am also on the hunt for a set of 18" five spokes and would like to be informed.
