What do you think of these rims??

Instead of going lightweight, I'm thinking of just getting a nice sturdy and not-so-easy-to-bend set of rims. I'm thinking of getting the HP Evo's in 18x8 et 38, 18x9 et 38. Would there be any problems with the rears?? I have the Billstein/H&R sport combo, fenders moderately rolled. My current rears are 18x9 et45.

iv said it before and ill say it again. the 18x9 will not fit the back for sure because of the offset. i got 265 rubber in the back and the quarters were sitting on the tire. i had to go through so much headache with them to even tuck in. a fender roll will not do it for you. i had to stretch the fenders and cut metal out and hammer the inside. it was a bitch. even through all that, they still rub on hard accelation and bumps. another member i forget if it was on here or on bimmerforums but a member had 245 rubber in back and those didnt fit either. im just trying to warn ppl because i know alot are intersted in these rims. if you didnt have a drop they would be fine, but because your car is dropped thats where the fitment issue comes in. the only way i can see them fitting is if you go with 225 but you wouldnt want that cause you would def spin out all the time.

Those BBS are really nice. Now when it come to the HP EVOs they are great looking wheels. I just feel that too many people have them. They are the civic of wheels, no disrespect to anyone who has them. If you want hp wheels they make a really nice 5 spoke called the HPR-5 i think and some nice multi spoke ones.

Not so much up here in the Northeast. Miako USA who owns HP Racing and HP Designs is based out of Miami, so Florida is overrun w/ HP wheels.

I was the only distributor for HP Racing wheels in New England from 2001-2003. The I closed up the distribution part of my company. I still have a brand new set of 18" chrome Evos, and they'd be on my car if they were 5x120, but they're 5x114.
