I say its time for a change. Dont get me wrong, I like the Cobra R wheels but I do like those Boss wheels you are looking at!!! That is a pretty bad *** looking rim!

I really like the TSW Laguna and the TSW Vortex in 20's..
Hard to tell what they look like on our cars,
but the Laguna's were on Blackout's car and they were sick.

Man your car looks great like it is. I'm guessing you want a wider stance out back. You'd be amazed at what size tire you can shoehorn onto a 8.5' rim. I don't believe all the hype about correct width tire to rim size. To a certain degree yes, you don't want to go TOO wide, but I think you can get a 275/35 onto the 8.5' which is plenty of tire.
I would recommend you go with some Ray's Engineering, Volk or other quality forged rim if you can afford it and it sounds like you can. They are lighter, tech/race looking and will increase the performance (traction under cornering) of your car, decreasing rotating mass. If you just want bling, ignore this recommendation. I just wish I had the disposable funds to get some nice forged alum 19' Volks!!!
Yeah, the ricers are smart in some areas .

Now that I look at 285's would be the way to go.

thanks loots...you just made my decision on which size tire to get tougher..ha,ha,ha..j/k
I know that the 255/35's have an overall dia of 27", the 295/30 is 27" and the 285/30 is 26.7"....but from the photos you just sent the 285/30's actually look perfect. I also notice that you have the pro-kit on your car which means it is sitting just a hair lower than mine...so the 295/30's may actually "appear" alittle different.
I'll have to do some more thinking.
Thanks again for everything!!
