There is some konig rims for sale on the sp motorsports page, I forgot the name of the rims but they are 18x7.5 on sale for $166.00 a piece! Is anyone here running 18's on their car? If so how wel do they fit?

Antonio has 18s. You can also ask in the wheel forum.

Antonio is running 19s.

He and I were running 18s - you will more than likely need to roll your fenders to prevent rubbing.

IMHO 18s are the best look as they fill the wheel well very nicely.

You will definetly need to roll your fenders, I had a 98 and had a bunch of rubbing on the tire...Remember pete?? Once you roll you should be fine...but make sure you roll the back sufficiently enough, because when you put people in the back seats or a load in the trunk it will start rubbing again if you did not roll well enough!

Good luck, 18's really do look the best...I've had 2 sets of 17's and 1 set of 18's.

nah...go for the 19's! lol Get forged ones too!

But seriously 18's are a great fit for the car if your fenders are rolled and if you're car is lowered.

Mine looked like I was ready to go off roading for the month i had them on my car. I hate Mr. Tire! I friggin called their corporate offices on Friday and left a nasty @$$ message to call me back because i want my money back and still have not heard from them. Guess who might get an in person visit on thursday because I will already be in nice clothes and have nothing else to do after 11am. A$$holes!

sorry about the rant to the new guys but $1200 wheels with clamp marks after owning them for 4 days. WTF?
