I like the look of my stock 18" chrome bullits but want more a lip and more meat in the rear. what im looking to do is keep my stock wheels in the front and put a 18x10 in the rear with 275/40/18 or 285/40/18 to give the car a more aggressive look and have more meat on the tires in the rear. what do you guys think. heres a link to the wheels I want for the rear they appear to be the same design as the stock with the way the middle of the curve on the spoke kind of comes to a point so should match the front ones.

I think those wheels are too different to run with your stock front wheels. I have seen both in person and the stock wheels are much "flatter" and are not convex at all. Also, if you look closely at the area between the spokes you will notice they are totally different. Those aftermarket wheels have very little metal betwen each spoke whereas the stockers are really thick through that area. Not trying to bust your balls, just trying to save you a headache and disappointment.

I had the stock 18's and bought the new wheels like fullthrtle posted. They are close but not good enough to mix and match. They are real nice wheels and the chrome is awesome.

I see what your saying about the metal between the spokes.. thanks thats why I asked ive never seen the ones i was thinking about getting in person... I knew someone on here would know... I love the stock 18's guess ill get all four 18x9 front and 18x10 rear or go with totally different wheel.
