Installing New Wheels

Decided to change out my wheels again...this will be the 5th set of wheels (6th including factory) that I've had in the 3 years I've owned this turd. I'm going from the gold 18x8.5 to a nice old school design in a 18x9. The gold is just a little too much bling against the silver.

New Wheels:

I've actually been able to sell them. I'm hoping this will be the last set...I may get rid of the car in another year.

I don't dislike my current wheels...just not the size and offset I'm wanting. They make them in a 18x9.5 but the offset is wrong to make it work without spacers. Two of my current wheels were drilled from blanks and two from 5x112 bolt pattern so there are flaws on two of them although you have to get really close to notice. I'm planning to start entering my car in shows this year and don't really want a knock off wheel. The new wheels are Advant Garde and are pretty big in custom wheel scene. They make $4500 custom forged wheels all the way down to these one piece wheel.
