I kinda like those, what do they cost? I had 19 and 20s on my lowered WS6. You can click the link in my sig for pics

Yea whats the price on those rims? I like those.

Those are a little too "bling blinging" for me <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

I think those rims look pretty cool what is the price on them ? I am thinking of going with 19"x9.5 in these rims,

but the 5000 dollar price tag is holding me back. I am also waiting if Budnik is going to make their fatlip rims in a 19x9 or 19x9.5 set up. I like the Tiller rims they have.

e-mail me for pricing on the Acari's

the 2 diferent ones that look good are the Cinque and the AL-5

I believe that dubs and good sound systems should be left to the big suv's. If you want to put 19 or 20s on a car put them on a truck or a Rolls.

I think you can get away with 19's nd 20's if you went with HRE's. Other than that I would go with a wide 18inch Kinesis, Fikse, or CCW. I just sold my 18x10 and 18x9 Enkei V1. The offset gave it a nice stance but the wheels are very heavy.

And I think people shouldnt buy a sports coupe with an A4, I think those should be left in station wagons and trucks. People should drive their cars, not ride.

But hey, thats just my opinion right?

I personally think 19's and 20's can look good on a Camaro or TA, and I also think that while I'm in a car, the stereo might as well not suck so much ass. My car is the only place I can turn up the music to the volume I want, and I'm gonna make the best of it.

Whats wrong with 19 and 20s on an F-body? I had them on my T/A and have them on my Vette.
Thats like saying you shouldn't do engine mods because you cant use it one the street. Why make a car that goes over 65MPH? That the fastest legal speed in most states.
Who cares? Do what you want. Some people are into show, some are into go, and some are into both. Just because someone is not into what you are doesn't make them wrong.
If you want big wheels on an SUV you gotta move up ta atleast 22s or 24s. Now those are big.
DJCZ28, for the price of those Lowenharts you could get into a set of HREs. I also just talked to Budnik about the Tillers and I was told that the only widths that they build any 19" wheel are 8" and 10"
7-Litre, how about super wide 19s? HRE 545s on a Pirelli 335/25YR19. It wont hook for sh!t but I think it will look bad a$$. I will be doing this setup on the SS

H8 B N SLO, have you already looked into the fitment of that rear wheel? If that can work without sticking out further than the ZR-1 (17x11) wheel I would definitely go that route. How heavy are those wheels? I could care less about not hooking up cause it's on Draglites and ET Streets now. I've always wanted the 540's but I never see them on any cars. Maybe the old school "spider web" design doesn't cut it anymore.

Where should I look?

7 Litre, I am not sure what the wheels weigh. I don't really care either. I show my cars more than I race them and when I do race it is on the street and almost always from at least 20 mph so I don't really need the initial grip of a drag tire. I will know within the next week or so if it is actually going to work. The wheels will not stick out past the fender well. I am going to have to have the fenders rolled all the way up and hammer the crap out of the inner fenderwells but I think they will fit. I have been talking with several people that are running the 335s so I think I know what I am getting myself into (I hope)
DJCZ28, email me at hwzdvew@aol.com about the HREs
