what do you guys think of this rims

im about to order this rims, but there are some things that i am concerned of:

the size i'm going to get is 18x8. i know that this rims is slightly wider than compared to 18x7.5. question: will this fit in my civic ex coupe? i'm going to get it with 215/35/18 tires.

any input will be appreciated. thanks a lot.

I think they look good but that may be a little too wide for your Civic, what about 18X7.5"? That at least would have a lesser chance of rubbing and would probably work better with the 215/35 tires.

nice looking rims but I see a major pain in cleaning the brake dust off those fake bolt heads all around the rims.

Theres no center caps on becaus I was Autocrossing, and I needed to check the lugs.

No they don't, and I had mine stolen onece. and they are not cheep to replace $25 each.

So I made a little custum lock so that if you dont know how to take them off properly there is no way that you will be able to take them off.

If you end up getting them Ill tell you how to set it up.
