against my better judgement I bought something for a vehicle I dont even own. yet. dont tell my wife.

although they are due to arrive when I am out of town for a weekend so I will have some 'splainin to do when I get home I think.

Guess I need to start shopping for a car that fits next year.

I would hope you had already had a vehicle picked out to fit those wheels before you bought the wheels

I've done that. Unfortunately I didn't end up buying the car they actually fit though. Made MOST of my money back at least.

Dude, you need to have stuff shipped to your office. SWMBO doesn't need to know about everything you do.

Are those Smoors? I like the look, kinda three piece Carllsons but not.

these are enkei sporsh. supposedly one piece 18x8+45, 18x9+38, 5x114.3

figured i could add spacers as necessary depending on application. would work and look nice on several fwd japanese luxury sedans that i have been looking into.....or would look awesome on a mazda 5.

5x112 or 114.3....probably should measure before you buy a car

I bought wheels once off the shelby dodge mailing list. (this was before craigslist). skipped school and drove my chrysler minivan out and picked up the wheels. didnt bother to test fit till i drove all the way back home. they didnt fit, the bolt pattern was different than my later V6 van. Luckily the seller was very kind and took the wheels back. Learned my lesson about verifying what bolt pattern I need before purchase.

I guess I will just have to stick these on my MPV to check the bolt pattern.

They'd look minty on a nice lowered Mazda 5 for sure.
