Well, I've decided that I'm getting rid of the Hotswaps and going for a 20" wheel. I've made my mind up
on the Carroll Shelby CS67 style wheel w/ the staggered look of 20x9 in the front and 20x10 in the rear.

The only thing I'm having a problem with is deciding on the finish ... maybe y'all can help me out.

Chrome, just my personal opinion with your color and the style of rim. I wouldnt mind getting a set of those in chrome myself. Staggered +1

I think anthricite would look awesome, as would black. Not a fan of chrome, especially on cars with metallic flake in the paint.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Anthracite ... I was just quoted a price of $215ea from Discount Tire -- I asked if that was the price for the 20x10's in the rear as well and he said yes. The tires on the other hand will be about $1100 for the set - incl. all the extra stuff they have to do.

I'm hoping they have the right wheel ... the problem is, I have to put down a deposit before they can be ordered. So if they come in and they're not the right ones .. then I have to start all over.

Guess I'll go back up there tomorrow and see what kind of damage I can do.

That's a great price! Definitely jump on that if they're the correct wheels!

i like the anthracite. it's a flat toned wheel that gives the vista blue color of your a lot of distinguishing characteristics. the chrome would've taken the attention away from the body of the car. the black would've done th same. i think the anthracites will keep a wonderful balance as well as an awesome addition to your car.

Boy o' boy ... I must have misheard him ...

Just called back to reconfirm and get a "out the door" price - and the rims in Anthracite are $315ea (total = $1260)

The tires I'm looking at are Yokohama S.Drive's
275/35-20 Rear $220ea
255/35-20 Front $185ea

After all is said and done, the total is $2580 - out the door.

Question - are these tires ok? They seem to be getting pretty good reviews -or- is there a better deal elsewhere?

I searched eBay and there is a seller on there w/ good feedback selling the Anthracite's for $1195 + $39shipping ... BUT ... that for all 4 at 20x9's .. if you want 20x10's in the back, you'll have to pay an additional $105 ... so it serves me better to just buy them locally here at Discount Tire.

Anyhow ... any suggestion on tires? Cheaper locations? Thanks

i voted for black, but either black or anthracite would look nice. i don't think chrome will work too well on these wheels...
whichever path you take, remember to post pics, as any one of them will look great!
