new rims!
hey I'm looking at getting these rims, the nakayama phanton Gt-Rs... they are the 3rd set from the left:
http://www.cbwheels.com/
I have a couple of questions...
1) is there anything wrong with 215 tires?
2) how much will this raise my car
3) what is the offset of these rims?

I have those in 17's and also got them from cbwheels (check my www button for pics).
BE VERY SPECIFIC when chosing what tire you want them mounted on if you are getting a wheel package.
I told them I wanted the upgraded size and wanted Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's.
The guy on the phone could only tell me they had 2 different styles of Kumho's but couldn't (or wouldn't) tell me for sure what they would be mounted on...but I really wanted that rim!!!
So, of course when they showed up they were mounted on the less expensive 711's (about $20 apiece less according to tirerack)
Other than the guy being kind of evasive about the tire, the shipping was fast and they were packaged great.
Any other ?'s about the Nakayama's or cbwheels, send me a PM

That's a good price for 18's
I paid $1000 shipped for my 17's with a 215/45/17 Kumho.
Depending how low your drop is, I don't think you should have problems with rubbing.

Those are the ones I want, I like em a lot. I saw them at a car audio place and on that site. I recently got new tires on the stock rims though so I cant justify the expense right now, but i'm about to do a serious drop. And yes, they have 8 holes in them and 4 of them are for our lug pattern.
I forget whose car this is but they definatly look sweet on a CL

fuckin bullshit man... cbwheels called me up today and said that they're charging me an extra $100 for the rims because of a mistake THEY made. Thats bullshit man... why should I have to pay because THEY quoted me the wrong price? Any suggestions on what I should do?
