**Wheel Recommendations/Consideration Thread**

[Blackhawk]

I like the 57 S-Pro only because they are 7-spoke and remind me of my Weapons. The 57 Pros have to be one of the cleanest aftermarket wheels I have ever seen though. Rivetless 2-piece wheels FTW

jt when are those tires coming in for your 19's?? im dying to see how there going to look

[Mike]

Tim, I've looked at the 57s, and they are my absolute favorite wheel but, the price tag is obsurd! I think the best I saw was $2400

2EA Are being mounted and balanced today, and 2EA tomorrow. My tire shop let's me just tip the installer, so I don't like to smother them while their slammed. I will test mount one tonight and try to take some pictures.

JT you deff need to post pics of the 19's I cant wait to see how good they look

Also, with your hook-up at discount tire what kinda deal can you get on 235/35-18?

YGPM Big Mike

BTW 2 tires are already mounted on the rim and HOLY RUBBERBAND TIRES! I thought the 235/35 had a little meat on the sidewall after seeing Scott's setup. but I guess this tire model is REAL low-profile. Here's a teaser...



Install pics tonight...

[driveaccord]

Mounted pics were kind of blurry so I will get better ones tomorrow with all 4 wheels installed on car. It looked pretty sick and did not rub at all.

i think i am going to talk whoever does my body work to roll my fenders when they fix my baby =[

Still trying to sell the gram lights...

Most body shops that you ask will look at you like you have 3 heads when you ask them to roll your fenders.  They don't do custom work, they just bring your car back to factory condition.  I know because I've gone to plenty of shops and they've all treated me like an asshole and said they either can't or won't do it.  One of my good friends does body work and he explained the part about them not doing custom stuff.  Hopefully you will find a shop that has the skills to roll your fenders, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

[exelr8]

I only deal with very true people for body work and mechanic work that i cant do myself. I have had many friends be screwed over by local shops. MY friend fuzzy said he will do the work for 500 and roll the fenders as well

Sorry for the thread jack... Back on topic, I Think I may roll on the gram lights for a while once i get the car fixed. At least until i sell them

Yeah I can pick out great bodyshops with the fingers from one hand. It's sad.

Anybody else shopping for some wheels or tires? Post pics!

[timot_one]

I'm going to be shopping for tires soon.  I need to install my front camber kit first though.  Firestone couldn't get the front DS wheel back into spec, so it's a 1.34 degrees of negative camber.  I'm going to be comparing the BFG G-Force sports, the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports, and Yokohama S.drives in a 245/40/18.  The Yokohama's have the best user rating on Tire Rack, but the Bridgestones are fairly new and don't have any reviews yet.

[Blackhawk]

That's a pretty beefy tire Tim, have you considered 255/35/18 or 235/40/18? That's the size I might go after once my G-Force's wear out. Sick of the ocasional rub with 265/35/18 even though it's the "correct" overall diameter ratio.

[timot_one]

I have 235/40/18's already.  I'm already pushing the limit with getting 245's on a 7.5" wide wheel, so 255's is out of the question.  I was looking at 245/35/18's, but there was barely any selection.  The Yokohama's have the best reviews so far, and they're available in a 245/35/18, so I may get those.
