what do u think about these rims?

im thinking about getting these rims from Enkei. i wanted to get the AROSPEED RS-GT but they dont make the 18"s in our bolt pattern.

question.... i dont know what would fit.... i currently have 215/35/18 on my car but im not sure if these will fit. some one help me out


Enkei OR52 --> Gunmetal [18x7.5] (225/40/18) ......... $999.00

OR

Enkei OR52 --> Gunmetal [18x8.5] (235/40/18) ......... $1099.00

The wheels width is the 8.5 or 7.5. 235 is simply a wider tire than 225.

the arospeeds do look pretty good, but with your cf hood, i think the or52s would match better.
