I like www.Discounttire.com website, you can see how the wheels will look on your car through a java applet. There selection is not too great..check it out.

im gettin the racing harts

i was lookin at the same wheels you were lookin at (C-5's) and i finally decided to get em. i didnt know whether to go with 17's or 18's but after thinking about it had to go with the 18's. Got them from wheelmax.com

i should have em in about 2 weeks because they have to drill the holes in em! Hopefully get some pics up soon after that. Im getting my car back tonite. Just got a new hood and bumper cause i got backed into. GOt clear bumper lenses put in and side markers wired to the turning signal. I cant wait to get the rims on and put the springs on too!

changed my mind. im going with the 17" racing hart d600's instead. i think 18's are too big for Rochester, NY (roads are f***ed up!). Plus im saving 500 bucks which can go towards something else. I would have probably gotten sick of em after a month anyway. I wanted the 17" c-5's but there not gonna be in for a couple months and i cant wait that long.

yea, i changed my mind too. i'm going for 18" tenzo rs-5 rims. i really like the 3 piece look, and they look pretty good in gunmetal. 3 piece c-5s just cost too much, and the one piece is pretty expensive as well. anyone know the cheapest place to get these rims, or are selling them??? thanks!
