I have silver Y2K's on my car right now, but I have a set of silver Firehawks in my garage...should I keep the Y2K's on, or when I need tires just go ahead and buy tires for the Hawks and put them on?

Pic of my set-up right now...


Photoshop of the Firehawks on...

How much would you take for your Y2Ks?

Well it's kind of a odd deal...My buddy bought the Firehawks, but his car has been in a performance shop for a while and will probably be in for a while longer (he's having alot of **** done to it). He doesn't know if he wants to trade me rims and I don't know if I want to trade him yet. I kinda do wanna trade because if I put the Hawks on I can rotate them if I need to. With the Y2K's I kinda just have to buy new tires if I roast the back ones....so yeah, I can't really sell them or I would...

Both are good looking wheel combos, you should just go with which ones you think look the best.

They both look pretty similar. If the Y2k's are replicas they might be heavy. Lighter rims=faster car. So I say go with the hawks.

The Y2K's are OEM, they're off of an '03 and the Hawks are off of an '02.

I like the Y2K wheels, I' ve never been a big fan of the Firehawk wheels. In my opinion, the Hawk wheels are a little lacking in the character department.

I think with the Y2ks you could go with a larger tire. OEM size is 18x9.5 rear right? You could put some nitto 555's in size 285. Like I said they both look similar so let performance decide...
