Nope, the 18" AR1s are 8" wide, the 18" Wasps are 7.5" wide.

well i was talking about looks ... but a question now comes to mind. tirerack shows that the 8 wide will fit a B5, will they or is it safe to go with 7.5?

Not sure about the 8" width but I've had no problems at all with the 7.5".

Ya the $800 shipped included tires. The size I don't know without going to look but I did get all-season rubber. They're Nexxen tires. Edge gave like $10 off per wheel and $20 off per tire with a bundle package. Everything came mounted and balanced all I had to do was put them on. Bundle even included the 35mm spacers. I'd recommend them for sure. I even had to call them to ask a couple questions and their customer support was of high quality.

the best way to match a nice rim to the car is to get the same color rim as the car. Theres really only 3 car colors that you can do this with unless you custom paint your rim. But monochromatic styling is very appealing to the eye no matter what subject were talking.

for example:

black car, black rims w/ polished lip

silver car, silver rims w/ polished lip

grey car, gunmetal rims w/ polished lip


get the picture?

They handle well on snowy roads and road noise is isn't muchlouder, if any,than stock. I go snowbaording at least once a week and I've had no troubles on the mountain highways with them.
