Default Help decide what wheels and size!

I cant decide between 18's or 19's on a black 02 ss. The wheels are going to be polished lip with a gunmetal or black center. I like 18's in chrome but i feel that if you go with the dark centers that it makes the wheels look smaller. So thats why i cant decide between the two sizes. I also cant decide between the RO5 and RO6 at this web www.dpengineering.cc . Im worried more about the looks than the ride, the wheels in either size are about the same price, just the 19" tire is way more than the 18's. They will be 10" wide on all four corners because thats the widest they offer. And the car is lowered with the prokit. Thanks

I prefer 18" wheels. 19" wheels on a F-Car are just too thin . . . IMHO . . .

I feel 18's are a bit large even...I think at that size, they start to look a bit odd.

Traction also starts to suffer once you have no sidewall tread. 17's are a good size. This is just me though, no disrepect intended at all.

I'd say the R16's in 18's with a High Polish.

it's suppose to be a muscle car, not a G-ride....i wouldn't go any bigger than 17's. if you go with 18's it starts to look to---whats the word---"pimpish"? 19's would just be outta the question for me. i suggest 17 inch AR Torque Thrust II wheels and lower the whole car about 2 inches...how's that for "bling bling"
