Default Wheels choices

Come March i will be ordering a 2008 GT, white in color.

and i cant make up my mind on the wheels, i really dont want 18s. and i am not buyng aftermarket wheels for it. i have my stock bullitts from my 2004 with snow tires that i will use in the winter for the new 2008(i was told they will fit). what do you guys think.

the thing is i want to get a set of nice tires out back, and not worry about spending almost 300 bucks a tire on 275/18/45s, already went through that on my current wheel setup now. soo many choices!!

fanblades - not bad kinda like them
18inch bullitts - my fav, love them, but they are 18s
17inch bullitts - not too bad, i can live with them
basic 17inch spoke ones - not too bad either

If you are paying $300 on a 275/45/18 tire, then you are definately shopping at the wrong place. I paid less than $900 on 2 285/40/18, and 2 275/40/18 bfg kdw tires. Of the stock rims I would be torn between the fan blades, or the 18 inch polished bullets.

I think 18 is a good choice for future upgradability
