Just as the title says, according to Adobe CS4, i have 18" T-stars on my car now wink . I really like the look, i wish Enkei would make these this size (for those who didnt know, Enkei made our stock rims (t-stars))

I'm sorry dude but I dont dig the smooth look at all. I think it makes the car look very plain. The bigger rims do look cool though...17s were offered on the CompG cars as well as those way cool chrome sawblade wheels on the Bonneville.

How are things coming with the ride and vibrations?

Only vibrations i have are when i accelerate at 50mph and give it hell, other than that, no vibrations smile and i like the smooth look kinda, but i like how my car sits as it is, i like my doors without dents from other people opening their doors into it wink

Also, GTX wheels are 17's.

Not bad.

I like smooth door ding and mold front plate. That's kind what my plan for next year.

Of course, I will leave 2 lines on bumper and use door handles. Gotta need that! lol

Smooth the bumper to fender asking for trouble. If 1 accidnet then you are screwed. There is orange ricer have smooth bumper to fender but he has damage front bumper so he can't do anything about that. He is stuck. lol

18" torque star look nice but won't use it as 18" wheel. I like big 5 spoke kind like Bonneville GXP rims. Good photochop.
