Default Ordered my new rims....

Thats right, ordered them today, they should be in soon. I ordered chrome C6 wheels. I got 17x9.5 for the front and 18x10.5 for the rears. The rear tires will fit but its gonna look ginda for awhile. But I can't wait to get these babies on.

They came to $1,200.00 with shipping and tax. I didn't think that was too bad.

LOL, I know they don't add horsepower but this was a NEEDED fix

Excellent buy! I think those are the ones Ellis was thinking about getting for his car. I can't wait to see them in person!

Cars do need a nice set of rims. It really sets it off.........what size of wheels are you planning on putting on the rear?

Im putting 18 x 10.5 on the rear. I think you meant the tire (not trying to correct) but if you did I dont know yet. I have some month old 275/35/18 that will fit for now but they're gonna look bad. Im not sure what size I wanna go with, what do you think??

Yeah I meant tire size...........I would go with the biggest you can get away with. The more rubber on the road the better your traction will be. Plus it looks so awesome being behind a car with wide *** tires........... I'm not sure what you could get away with having that size rim. I do know you can go bigger than 275's. I think 305's might be the limit. Don't quote me though. Post up some pics when you get it all hammered out.

Yeah, I may need to try and go through these 275's real quick so I can get bigger. I agree with you 100%, bigger the better. You can bet there will be pics....
