Dilemma

sublime19 · Post by **sublime19** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 6:46 pm

I'm buying rims either this weekend or next, I can't decide if i should go for 18" or 17"

I dont mind getting 17", 18" might look too big in some case, but i like the look of them still.

my major concern = I go buy them, can the people at the shop make sure my speedo will read correctly and if i 215x35R18 tyres, won't it still scrub at certian angles?
Plus will insurance cover it since legally I can only go up 1"?

so confused

and personally, what would you guys get?

18's would look mint if you put on bodykit aswell.

If you go for 17's, i would reccomend the good quality stuff

Well they came with the car when I bought it in feb, they're 17" deep dish at the back.

I can take more pics for a closer look, these are pics I've alrdy got in my comp to give u an idea of what they look like.

If your interested I can give them to you for a great price since I won't be needing them!

I def reccomend lowring the car after/during putting the new wheels, since you got to do a wheel balancing anyways.

You got two choices RACING or BLING. No point going for standard 17 inch wheels because you already have some not too bad looking ones.

Well I'm looking to get one of these probably, alrdy got prices

As far as lowering goes, unfortunately for me it's out of the question.
I already have probs getting out of my driveway at work and especially at home

Go 18's you won't regret it, you can slways replace the wheel arch liners or just cut them away. Fox RS10's are what I went for......sweeeet

well i ended up with 18" and my speedo is .6 Kms off lol which is no biggie.
$1200 for rims, paid $400 extra for Kumho tyres the guy said it's like one of the best tyres they got there so i'll post a pic soon. did i get ripped off by paying $100 extra each tyre??
