Im gonna get thos as soon as my tax return gets here. Imma go with 19's staggered in dark silver with some tein springs. How much you think those will weight?

Any reason not to get 19's aside from cost?

That's gonna be awesome said7! I couldn't tell you how much those 19"s will weigh tho. Maybe 3 or 4 lb's heavier??? And the cost was the only reason I didn't get the 19's. Trust me, I would have gotten those if I had the cash!

Awesome, wheels I will post some up of mine. Same ones but staggered with 18x9's in the back. Mine are pretty much tucked however.

Whoa!!! Those are nice. I've been looking for a set of rims that would look good on my tit grey and I think I just found them. I think I'll go for the 19's though. Any suggestions on if I should go staggered or not? And if so what set up should I use?

Thanks for the compliment! :D 19's would be sick, especially staggered. As for the set up, check out some 19 inch wheel threads. I think fanman has 19's. Give it a shot dude.

i LOVE basket wheels, very race car... but i think for your car they would look better if the center section was gunmetal (body color match) and the lip was kept polish!

just my input, but none the less the car is looking good!

Hey TxRx8, I just did a search on the staggered setup issue. After reading a couple of the threads I think I'll stay away from the staggered set-up. I like the nuetral handling on this car too much. Though I do think this wheel would look great with a staggered set-up :o . So whadda ya think. 19x8.5 with 245 all the way around. Once again you've got one smooth looking 8. Keep up the good work and keep posting updates.

Dude go for those 19's! I hardly wait to see 'em. Did you see the "Sunny Day" thread I made? You can see the wheels during the daytime. Sweet *** sweet, let me tell you!
