18inch ultra light rim with 8/9J...how come so few?

[Ahbengdriver]

Been considering and scouting for 18 inch with 8J and 9J staggered which are super light, as in for eg the Advan RS which I am using but it is 19 inch with 8.5/9.5J. Other than OZ Ultraleggera, I havent seen any of those good JDM brands like Volks, Prodrive, Advan, etc with 18 x8/9. All these come in 18 x 8.5/9.5, ie as wide as most 19inch rims. :errrrrrr:

Any suggestions pls.:thinking:

what is wrong wif 8.5 9.5....they are good widths
as for weight diff for 0.5 inch wider is quite negligible.
both fit the same tires u got..
225 255
235 265
245 275

I was considering these F7s a year ago but decided against them in the end as it appeared too Civic-ish...if you know what I mean...

That is a very slammed M3 running on possibly 20 inch F7? Seen it before and yup it looks fantastic. Its between this and the Neez QD7

current setup is 18x8, +34 & 18x8.5, +37 with 225/255 tyres
new setup would be 18x8.5, +35 & 18x9.5, +33 and i'm in a dilemma whether

a. continue to use 225/255 (stretch it) for another 1 year then change tyres

b. change to 235/265 straight away for swee swee setup. of course, this will lose more $$$ as i need to get rid of the 225/255 tyres cheaply even though they are still in pretty good condition

what ya think ?
