These were (EDIT) 16s if I recall correctly.

Moving/driving under its own power. Regardless, I'm not going to be buying wheels until mine is able to do the same and I still have quite a bit of thinking to do.

Probably 19s depending on wheel choice. Apparently tires are easier to get for the sizes I'm looking at.

Maybe 10 years ago? Even then, I think 20's were the staple "dub"

The name "dub" comes from "20". Useless fact of the day.

I'd always ask the wheel maker if hidden hardware is available.

ccw doesnt do hidden hardware on their "classic" wheels you can ask to double check but i did some pretty good research on the subject. they do like a reverse mount thing but it doesnt hide the hardware. fikse wheels have the hidden hardware. again brian wheels make or break the car. a ferrari with crappy wheels on it would make the car look like ass. you have alot of time and alot of money invested in your car and you want to put the right wheel on it. dont let anything else sway your decisions. btw i only thought you were staying 18 cause you sold tt2's without tires.. 19's fit these cars perfectly

Agreed and I sold the tires with the wheels so I'm looking at everything new.

Not bad but I don't like the hardware showing. Not a fan of the painted silver either.
