Default New Wheels on

Well i finally found some 19" wheels i liked which let me keep my new stock tires.When i wear these tires out,i'll look into a stagger set up but i just couldn't see blowing all that extra money on new tires when the tires i have are new.
I am more than happy with what i ended up with but it looks like i might need to look into lowering it abit.

i personally dont like those rims but i think youll like your car better if the sidewall measurement was a bit smaller, idk i think if you play with the rim to rubber ratio it will look even cooler

I'm kind of an old school guy,always loved Cragars,Torque Thrust type wheels.
I just can't get into the newer euro sport type low profile wheels.
My driveway is like a 1/4 mile long and twists through a woods and it's 1" gravel,my wife had a Sebring that had those thin sidewall low profile tires and i tell ya,we couldn't keep air in those things.
I like em when i see them on a car but for me i like the older style.

Two thumbs up for old school. While I can appreciate some of the newer styles, I too have always been partial to Cragars and the like. Ratio of sidewall to wheel is important to me as well. ...It's a fine line between really cool low profile, and it looking like a rubber band.
