What color is your car?
Since I plan to upgrade the suspension later with coil overs, I think I'm going to stay with a small tire height so I can lower it 2" or 1.5". Not sure if 27 height will work lol I have no idea. My car is yellow, no stripes...yet lol

TRex I might wind up going cheaper than 3k depending on how much work I can get during this semester. What other brands do you know of maybe around 2k?

Sounds good dude lol that would definitely help being that its the same color. Thanks

Thats awesome, especially after I saw some of their stuff today when I checked out their website. I'm definetly going to pair them with pirellis though but I think I might not get the all-seasons because I don't feel like ill ever use them in the winter just so they stay nice and in great condition.

Any of these will run about 1800 or so for a wheel and tire package (19s)
