I've waited way too long for these but I finally have them. They are from Centerline, part of their new "competition series". 18x9.5 in the back and 18x5 in the front. The pattern is called "Rev" and they have a few others. Tires are TALL all the way around. Front tires are a bit fat but I needed the height so I squeezed them on.

I'm putting them on tomorrow so wish me luck!

They look about as heavy as your stock wheels, but I like them. Can't wait to see them on!

18.5 lbs each for fronts and 22lbs for rears so not nearly as heavy as the stockers. Between the wheels/tires and the 1-piece drive shaft I've probably remove close to 100 lbs of rotating mass.

Plus my 6 year old thinks they look like the Mach 5 wheels (Speed Racer). LOL
 
Here is a test fit from a while ago. Had a problem with one of wheels and sent it back, thus the wait. I'm putting on all 4 tomorrow!:w00t:

I didn't like them sitting on the ground, but now that I see them on the car I like them. I can't wait to see the whole entire car in a photo with the wheels on.
 
I like the wheels, a bit heavy for drag but much better than stock, lol. Couldn't go wider with the rears though? I'd ditch the centres, they don't look right IMO.
