WW on White rims

I got these rims from the Axis warehouse sale we had here in SoCal. There were rims going for $25!! $100 for a whole set!!! and they were 18s,19s, and 20s, lol anyways, I picked up some white Halo's 18x8.5 +35 and +45. I know running different offsets is usually frowned upon on but these were the only ones they had and I couldn't find a better price for these. I also talked to the owner of Axis and he said it wouldn't really matter. The difference isnt that much. Anyways, these rims used to be $1300 for a whole set, and I got em for $300 $75 each. The Black Halo's were going for $100 each so it was a good deal. Now I'm just waiting to get lugs for these. Hopefully I get some by next week so I can put them on already. I can't wait!

What do you guys think? and do you guys have any suggestions for color and brand lugs?

Thanks for your guys' feedback! The sale was only on October 17th and it was held at the AXIS main warehouse in Santa Fe Springs, CA it was only from 9AM-2PM. They sold a lot of old style rims to make room for the newer styles. They also sold tires, XXE rims, Rays, EXE, OG and many other things. By the end of it, I heard mostly everything was sold. I didnt stay that long but when I was there people were buying 2,3,4 or 5 pairs of rims. haha!

I'm debating on whether to put on black or red lugs. but I will have these on within 2 weeks. I'll keep you guys posted!

Black lugs would be a nice contrast will all the all the black accents. Sounds like a great deal to me.

Hopefully you can get away with having the staggered wheels :S Even when I had to throw my snow tires on the front while I was getting a tire fixed on my summer wheels the car didn't like having 2 different wheels on front and back. It was throwing codes and they are roughly the same rotating diameter.

Well it's not necessarily a staggered setup considering the wheel widths are the same. The offsets differ by 10mm which could be corrected with a spacer if necessary.

Nonetheless, any updates with these mounted?

They are on. I haven't had any codes pop up but I am planning on getting spacers. I haven't had any rubbing in the rear either. I am lowered on Progress springs which are the same as the RRM GRIP springs. There isn't that much of a difference. Only the fact that the different offesets are getting in the way of putting my center caps on. I put the +45 in the front and +35 in the back. The rears are close to being flush but not really and I can fit the center caps on them. the fronts are also close to flush but I can't put on the center caps because the axle thing (idk the name of it, dont bash on me. LOL) is sticking out just a little bit. But a spacer can fix that issue. There is a problem however, putting a 5 or 10mm spacer can fix it but if i do put a spacer on, it will hit my fender everytime I bottom out. Flaring my front fenders will fix that a little but not fix the problem overall because I think flaring out the front fenders will not look good. any suggestions you guys have for me? Someone told me to buy new center caps that come out a little so i can put them on in the front and not have to buy spacers and deal with the whole fender issue.

Anyways... on to the picture. I will take more pictures in the daytime. if you guys want me to take any pictures from a different angle let me know.

I'm generally not a big fan of color matched rims, but I have to admit that looks ~nice~!
