Strange. I found 19" tires cheap than 18s.

Thats rather odd, for the same tire even? And it has been exactly one month... Just think, you could have been this much closer to a set of Seneka's sitting on your doorstep...

Na 19" Hankooks were cheaper than 18s BFGs. Deciding between 18" or 19" CCWs but will probably go with the 18s. Senekas would still be another 4-6 weeks though. Ill have the CCWs on the car before then, after having all this time to think it over.

Contacted CCW today for a final price with tires. Hope to order by the end of next week shortly after my 22nd birthday!

Close to Senekas. To me the spokes look almost identical to the RPMs and Evos. They also come in full chrome but I dont know if thatll be too much for a mesh wheel. Also 3 week build time compared to 8-10 haha.

Do this.

I am saving for a wheel set up like that.

I want 18" classics really bad, but I am considering other options for my car.

I also need a 9" but it pains me to drop 3500+ in a mod on my car.

Thanks Tran. Jesus this is so hard. I might just sell the car to avoid making a choice on wheels.

No problem man, my vote is still for F14's or seneka's though. Or you should be brave and go the F14F's! They will look amazing, I guarantee it.
