As far as I know this question hasn’t ever been asked, I’ve looked through every page on the aggressive wheel set up form, the aftermarket wheels on stock suspension form, the garages, random posts, etc. and I’ve come to find a couple things.

In my opinion, somewhere in the sweet spot of 18x8.5-18x9.5 with anywhere from 30mm to 45mm offsets tends to look best. I’ll be posting some of my personal favorite setups and try to give credit to the owners as I go. I’m really interested in what everyone else thinks so post your own opinion!

Criteria:
- Wheel specs (Brand, Model, size, and offset)
-Any suspension mods
-tire size
- pictures if ya got them

like I said, I will be adding photos to this post as I find some examples I love, this is all subject to opinion of course, but I just want to know what is everyone’s favorite set up and why!

***if this isn’t allowed or already done please take down!***

Possibly one of my favorite looking set ups Fitment wise, photo wise, etc. Here’s why, the chrome trim goes with the wheels while it’s not too much with the black front bumper, the wheels sit close to flush, and I believe overall they look amazing. Those HFP side skirts and oem front aero pieces help too! Could be those camera skills too?!

18x9.5 +45 enkei rpf1 powdercoated satin black

I wish I'd either gone 265 width on my current wheels, or +38 offset with 255 tires because I wasn't sure if either combo would fit without excess camber, but now I think they would. Personally not into the stretched/cambered look just to fit wheels that poke too much.

Wow! Love it, looks absolutely great! Really like the meaty set up too or at least compared to the stretched look. The Enkei RPF1 is one of my all time favorite wheels because it is such a versatile do it all wheel however I hate to admit it but I have only seen one other set up on here I’ve personally liked prior to this..... however your set up looks mint. Goodjob with tire size, wheel size and offset, color, overall car, as well as ride height! Looks great!

Thanks, I actually thought the same about rpf1s because our cars are so overstyled and the wheel in comparison is very simple. But after seeing the below quoted post I was converted. Plus I hated how most affordable wheels were also heavy like oem. The rpf1 has comparable weight to wheel sets that cost around 3k usd which is amazing value. I just hope powdercoating hasn't weakened them which seems to be a 50/50 claim online.

Also I have to admit my setup is still a light stretch, but the rpf1 sure does a good job of hiding it. Also the wheel gives the illusion of taller sidewall as well, even though it's shorter than oem. So far several people in person commented on how I went thicker than the stock setup and I said no, it's actually thinner lol.
That was the other set up I was referring to, I tried to find it but gave up after 10-15 minutes of looking. The Enkei RPF1 definitely is a huge value for a light weight, relatively strong wheel and certainly provides a huge performance upgrade from stock rims. Looking back at your photos your set up isn’t nearly as meaty as I thought, the RPF1 definitely makes the sidewall appear much larger then it actually is. Overall, I really like the look. Definitely going to keep them on my list!
