going square how did you like it?

I'm running 18x10 +34 as a square setup right now, I have two sets of wheels in that size/offset. With stock camber settings, the top edge of the front tires

I'm running 18x10 +34 as a square setup right now, I have two sets of wheels in that size/offset. With stock camber settings, the top edge of the front tires stick out a little visually, but on aftermarket coilovers lowered a bit with about -2.5 front camber it looks fine. I'm using some thin 10mm through-hole spacers in the rear (extended studs all around anyways), but honestly it's just for looks and nobody would notice much without the rear spacers. There's no one perfect offset to be able to rotate front and rear without spacers and get perfect show-car alignment to the bodywork, but this is close enough for a track car. The upside of being able to rotate/flip tires around all 4 corners easily is pretty huge.

As for brand, I'm using Forgestar F-14s in Matte Black (hides brake dust better!). They're not the lightest wheel on the planet, but they're light enough and they've held up to abuse well. They're definitely stronger than the super-cheapo wheels out there. At ~$1400/set it's a good deal for trackday wheels. I usually order them through ModBargains and it's a 5-6 week wait as they mfg them to order (since nobody stocks 18x10+34 in them).
