MY03-06 Spec B 18x7's on a MY03 RX?

Postby Nottage969 » Mon Apr 02, 2012 1:43 pm

So keeping it short, will the Spec B 7 spoke 18" rims fit on my MY03 RX Lib?

I've been searching around a little bit but tbh in a bit of a rush to snap up a deal!

This type here:

Thanks in advance,

Funny you say that because I have searched around for those a couple times within the last 6 months, but turned off them a bit once i saw a set in real life. I don't really like the thin, lots of spoke rims :P Personal preference i guess.. Pumped to get the 18x7's now i have seen them on Tom's old Gen III though! :D


*EDIT*

Must admit though, they do look pretty good on the front with a front lip...

Both look awesome, but I reckon the CS9's look a little bit tougher! The agony of choice :wink:

You're not wrong, it IS agony! :shock:

At this stage the deal for the 7x18's is too good to resist, and it requires less effort than trying to get a similar deal for the CS9's. Plus, i'm a bit more of a sucker for "class" and "style", than "toughness", and i like the classy smooth style of the Spec B rims on it :) But i agree, the CS9's do have a different look about them!
