Default Wheels and Tires Opinions Needed

Well, I am shopping for a new wheel/tire combo. It's only my 4th set in 5 years...LOL...So, here's what I am thinking about. Either get a set of Welds with skinnies up front and fatties on the rear. These would be 15's with 26x10.5's MT ET Streets on the rear. OR Just get a pair of 18x10 Silver Metallic Bullitts with some 335/30/18 DR's.

Whatcha think?

I say go with the set of welds! Either that or keep your 17s, I personally think that bullitts look bad in 18s...
Plus with the Welds you're gunna improve your 1/4 mile times.

I'm digging the welds esp. for your setup. You don't drive it too often so you dont have to worry about tire wear or cornering too much. Plus with a fatter tire back there such as et streets it will improve your time hopefully. Plus they look mean as hell and every1 knows you mean business.

I personally like the welds but I also like the bullit style 18's. Afriend of mine has the boyd coddington smoothie II's on his and they look sick. By the way code3, you still have any of those 4 sets of wheels laying around for sale?
