Default $1300 for rims..

I am looking for a new set of 18" rims and tires, and want some input from my fellow MFers.

I want a 275/45 18 all around, and 18x9 or 9.5 all around

Anyone want to help me spend $1200-1300?

Either post pics or links.. I want to see some rims and tires baby!!!

here's the car so you get an idea of what would look nice:



Thanks!

If you're going to put the same size rubber all the way around, why two different size wheels?

Those 275/45/18 will fit on your bullitts! I'm going to get that size next time I buy tires.

^^^ I sold my Bullitts

I want new rims and tires, with a different but equally as good look.

I loved the Bullitts but I wasn't happy that they only went 18x8.5.

I want 18x9 at least.

That's a really nice looking car! I don't think the rims look bad now.

Thanks, but I just sold them..lol

I decided I want Black Steeda Pentars.

so unless you all find something heinous about these rims,
these are the ones I'm going to try and get

The problem is not buying the rims, it is buying the tires..[&:]

I can't find any good prices on tires. (the rims are 18x9.5 by the way)

any suggestions would be much appreciated!
