18"s verses 19"s Now that i see the 18"s on a camaro ,I think thats what im going with !!.I liked the 19s ,but my buddy told me tires would be right there with the gas prices LOL!!Who much were these 18"s If you dont mind ? There's was a guy selling his CCWs off of his vette on the sales sect for $2500 which were perfect , but they were the 19"s. Is there a big diffrence in cost between 18"s and 19"s?

On CCW's website the cost of 18's and 19's are the same. But there is a big difference in the price of the tires between the two.

Thanks again for the comments. As far as 18" vs.19" goes, I went with the 18" for a few reasons. Yes, they both cost the same, but tires are a whole nother story. When you start getting into 19"+, your options cut way down, as well as performance. I wanted a 305 drag radial, it can be pretty hard to find the right DR in a 19", the width you want, and i'm pretty sure you would have to go with a 30 side wall rather than a 35. (i may be wrong) also, with such a small side wall, you lose performance because there isn't hardly any flex in the tire. plus they just cost more. if your going for straight looks, 19" wouldn't be a bad choice in my opinion.
as far as what i payed, 2600 for the wheels, and 1140 i think for the tires. thats with them being shipped to CCW. They mounted and balanced them for free. the total cost for the wheels, tires, mounting/balancing, and shipping came out to 3740 i believe. The people at CCW were awesome to work with and took care of everything. Highly recommend them.

Wheels look good! LOL tipical pro kit sagging in the rear! 
Have ya ever herd of the hose mod? Well the normal hose mod you get some hose and run it around the 1st coil on you rear spring and remove your spring isolator to lower the rear 3/4". Well you need to do the hose mod but keep the spring isolator in the car it will raise the rear up so its not sagging!
