Get Falkens if you want cheap... their actually a really good tire for the price. They look awesome... and stick great.

Don't last very long I don't think tho. No fact to back that up tho...


Nitto's are very cost effective... bout $200 tire for 235/35/19 and they have a treadwear rating of 300.

yeah, they are 3 pcs with pierce bolts: come in super chrome, polished (diamond cut), silver.

go for super chrome or polished, silver looks too gray in person.

below are some links i found:

Ok yea time to sell my left nut for those rims. Dont get 18s man, it will look too small on the car. Just wait then if you cant afford it playa! You will kick yourself if you get 18s. Just wait and get them in 19s!!!

Im gonna TRY to see what i can do about ordering those.

have you seen the trafficstar limited edition black?

anyhow, my 19x8s with tires weighed in at 51lbs. is that heavy?

but the handling got 110% better after i switched from oem to these rims, no more michelin squealing

anyone know when acura-tl.com will be back up?

erik,

you said you were barely rubbing on your 19x8, comptechs, and 48+ offset? i was looking at your pics, at it looks like there a lot of room between the wheels and the fender. it rubs? i'm riding on h&r sports and i'm getting 19x8 with 49+ offset, so would that rub? hmm, i'm planning on getting my wheels this weekend.

Those rims look great. Good job. Do you really have springs with those 19s? Amir, I like the choice of rims and salute your intention to go big! My opinion,..if you're spending the dough, chances are you not going to want to do it again soon. Trust me, I learned the hard way that I deep down that I needed larger rims You have the size, but are questioning the presentation. Really all I am saying is, Order them right now and make sure to mark "chrome" for you finish
