decision time (wheels)

[97BIRD]

ok...i have narrowed my wheel choice down to three, and was wondering which ones you guys think i should get.

Option 1 (17" OE Concepts C5 wheels)


Option 2 (17" SLP Firehawk Wheels)


Option 3 (18" Eagle Wheels)


i am partial to the C5 and Eagle one's myself [img]tongue.gif[/img] , but just want to know the general opinion of the rest of the board :D

Thanks Guys... [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

sorry guys, but i just couldn't justify paying $300 more for those C5 wheels. The Eagle one's are on the way. Now all i gotta do is find some tires. :D

BTW: Does anyone know how much going from 16's to 18's makes your speedometer off??

If you run the right profile tire, it wont toss your speedo off one bit.

I recommend 285/35R18's if you can afford them, thats the widest you can go...

If he gets 285 wouldn't he have to get spacers? I think 265 would be PLENTY wide. Too big can hurt performance ya know....especially in handling..

how much did those 18" Eagle's cost? how much will the rubber be?

They were $650 shipped and the 265/35-18 W-Rated Pirelli P7000's that i want are $190 a piece.

Can't wait for them to get here...i'll try and post some pics as soon as i can.

Wow, that's a good price for those eagle wheels. Where did you buy them from? They look nice in the picture.

i don't think you can go any bigger than 255 width. the wheels are only 8'' wide.
