Default The Cheaper Route...

Just couldn't bring myself to spend $400.00-600.00 per wheel so...went the cheaper route. Think it turned out okay for a run of the mill stock style wheel. 18x9.5's with Avon 275/40's and the 18x10.5's with BFG 315's...everything fits great...

Sorry guys, haven't been watchin' this post very well...

Not sure just yet how the 17 and 18 BFG's compare. It's been raining its *** off everytime I want to go play.

Yes they are the 315/18 BFG's.

"What IS the cheaper route? (Buying a factory style wheel)
What is the more expensive route? (you know...iforged, Fikse, HRE, etc...)

What rims are they?" (18x9.5 and 18x10.5 Highly polished aluminum Z06's)
