I had staggered set (18X8 and 18X9) which were forged. It should have "FORGED" stamped on them. $900 on eBay, it's a good deal if they are forged and the rashes are not too bad.

:D :D :D

they look like RCJ's.

rcj only comes in 18x8 and 18x9, while rc comes in 18x8.5.

8.5 has a sort of concavity to it, the 9 inch rim has a deeper concave. the 8 inch rim is pretty much flat...the pic you have there looks flat. (look at my sig)

reza, what kind of deal on rear rcj's? i don't need em...just curious.

also, rcj's only come in silver finish so if theyre polished, theyre definitely RC's

Are the wheels in yet? I am looking for the forged ones... I wanted to do the staggered setup, but the more i think about it, tires would be much cheaper down the line if i could rotate... so I was thinking about 18X8 all around. Please let me know what they are.
