I am getting tired of being turned down after I find my ideal fit for the 'Quiksilver' First I wanted to install the MOMO Sport series, 18s. Don't make them for my car; Next it was the Konig Monsoons. Same deal!! I want a nice 5 or 6 spoke 18 x 7.5 for the car. Help me out before I buy something else for the car! What's out there? I went to Discount Tire's Website and they told me that those would fit. Guess not... Help me out!

you can get the 4x100 bolt pattern to fit our 4x108 pattern with a little drilling from your local shop. Of course it voids out the warranty but so does bending your rim by driving over a pothole so its really not an issue. I've been told that if u do find a rim you like and you have it drilled, its better to pick a model that has a center cap over the bolts to hide the drill work.
but being able to switch to the 4x100 opens up many options if you're willing to go that route.
I went by what the Online Stores and Rim Shops told me for months and it was a waste because nothing i liked fit my car. Then i was told about the drilling and I got a set of 18" Konig Verdicts in the black opal color that originally had the 4x100 pattern. I've had no problems all summer and they look incredible on my black SVT.

I'm in the same situation. I've started looking at rims that fit the Focus, due to the same bolt pattern, and I've gotten better responses.
Just a thought..

hey guys, i would love to post the picture of my car but i can't find out how so, email me at acura28328@aol.com and I will send you the picture of my car. I just bought a set of 18's offline from www.whalentire.com. The guy there is cool and keeps a set for our car onhand. I paid 889. that's shipping and all for 4 ADR reactions. And I must say they look sick, in my opinion. I put a little more rubber on them but they ride great! send me your email and i'll send you the picture. 18*7.5 !

Most companies will custom drill your wheels for you for an additional 10-20 per wheel...

Would it be too much to ask to list the names and specs of those wheels, Antonio? As for the drilling recommendations, would doing this damage the wheels in any way or make them less structuraly sound? Thanx for the responses!

By the way, what tire sizes you guys recommend? 245-40-18? I have never dealt with this stuff before, so feel free to laugh at me, so long as you like some good advice...
