Ugh RPF1's look terrible. Since I am so nice I am willing to give you my stockers for them to get your car looking good again. No questions asked.
[doublepost=1458777591][/doublepost]Evo 8 MR BBS wheels. 17 x 8 with 38 mm offset. Eibach springs. Had CS springs but the rears rubbed if anyone sat in the back and I am not about that rolled fender life (235/45).

Info is in my sig, 10mm spacers up front, rears rolled with shaved fender tabs.

I need some new wheels. I've grown tired of the stockers. I just bought new 225/40/18 tires so I'd like to be able to use them but I also would like the option of running bigger tires next time. So I have 2 questions...

1) There is a billion wheel companies out there. What's some good quality manufacturers out there that won't break the bank? A good middle of the road brand.

2) What is the widest wheel I could put 225s on and not be overstretched? I'm currently on swift springs and stock shocks/struts. I do not mind rolling my fenders..

Personally, the widest wheel I'd run with a 225/40/18 would be a 18x8. With that size wheel you'd have the option of moving up to a 235/40.

That's what I was leaning towards. Only problem is that the ones I like are only made in 18x8.75. Guess I'll either have to pay out for new tires too or find a different set.
 
@Porterhouse07 I would recommend Evo wheels. I got mine for $400 with snow tires on them off craigslist in Denver. My dad has 225/40R18 on 18x8.5 and that is more stretch than I would like. I will have to take some pics of it to post.
 
17x9 rpf1s stock suspension minus,the rear Koni yellows and jbr rsb. H&r Springs and front konion yellows,coming soon after fender rolls.

245/40/17. Stoptech rotors and Corksport pads.

I just got a set of 17x9 RPF1s. any suggestions for center caps that aren't $100?

I made mine for about 5 bucks. But I already had primer , paint, and 320 sandpaper. 2"knockout seal in electrical section at Lowes or Home Depot.

@MR2Speed

You don't have rubbing issues in the rear? My gen 1 has serious rear end sag, and my shit rubs way too much and I'm only running 18x7.5 +35 offset with camber adjustment and fender roll.

Ugh, please don't buy XXRs...there are sooooooooo many better looking wheels out there that look and perform better.
