Wheel and Tire Packages

Ok, Im ready to buy wheels and tires. So far I think my best bet for deals is through www.wheelmax.com If anyone else has some better suggestions, pls list the site on this thread. I know I definitely prefer chrome in an 18 in. wheel.

MY other dilemma is whether I want a wheel with a nice lip on it, or a full length spoke type rim. I know the spokes make the wheels appear bigger, and gives a nice look, however I also like the stance a wheel with a nice lip on the edge looks like as well.

So if you guys have any suggestions on websites or pics of your own rides, let me know.

One more thing, 215/40 18's or 225/40 18's. Will 225's rub with my prokit/kyb set up?

Sorry so long winded, its just that wheels and tires are expensive and I want to make sure Im satisfied.

I ordered my racing harts from wheel max, and i wasn't too happy with the service. They didnt send my lugnuts for the wheels nor the hex key i need (which I still need to buy somewhere) DOES ANYONE HAVE A HEX KEY FOR THE CENTER CAP ON THIS FORUM?

Very funny fool. Dulux also has great looking rims. Nah but check out the www if you like the chromies. The only thing I don't like about them is that everyone thinks they're 17's because of the lip. They are really nice and shiny though. Especially when you just clean them.

I got my rims, tires, and lowering kit from www.tires.com I recieved free shipping on mine. i too heard wheelmax did not have great customer service. Tires.com is the way to go. They're awesome. Good luck though!
