Sooo basically would you guys do 18s all around, 17s all around or 18x10.5,17x9.5? Any input would be great
Thanks

Got 17x9.5 ff, 18x10.5 rr. Will post pics Thursday. Looks amazing with the wheels I got.

#2 for sure 18x9.5 front 18x10.5 rear. Don't go with 17's man and put some tint on your windows. The car would look mean as hell.

I have a large list of things to do when I'm done for the semester and head home for summer. Tints and SLP grille are the first things I plan to do. Im surprised no one has mentioned the new Pic of wheels i added. I thought it was a mean setup. Any more input on the wheel specs would be great.

dman3 have any more pictures of that car ??? With the girl would be sweet.

Those are not Ruff 280's. They are Privat Profil 5's ....Take a closer look at the wheels you ordered. The spokes are smooth. The Privat has an indention on the spokes.

What he said. The five spoke look just doesn't look as "bulky" or "heavy". Seen some chrome ones on a Camaro here locally. Looked sweet. The black on the white is awsome.

Appreciate the vote. I didn't think i was going to end up with over 100 votes. Right now I'm deciding between pic 2 and pic 5(wheel not in poll). You would think it would be an easy decision ,but its not. haha Happy Easter guys.
