Default 18x8 BBS RS-GT questions
Hey guys, just had a few quick questions.

Do the 18's clear the stock calipers? Seems like everyone on here has them in 19's...

Which leads to my next question, were the 18's discontinued? I found someone on ebay who says they have 18's in stock. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Everyone has them in 19 because if you can afford RS-GTs, you can afford them in 19. Ballin!

I prefer 18s...less chance of bustin a rim and lighter with more preformance.

You will regret not getting the 19"ers. I was like you and I am so glad I went to 19"s.

Default Those are my feelings as well.
19's are just vanity, though I guess you can make that case for spending the kind of money that the RS-GT's cost in the first place...hehe

Default when you move up to that level of wheel the percentage cost in insignifigant...I think
it would have cost be almost nothing for wheels and tires on my wheels to go up to 19s
