Off the beating path, but I was a fan of how they looked on the car
18x9.5 all the way around with 275's. Gotta stop and turn too!View attachment 128415
I completely agree. I literally spent two years looking for wheels, sizes, and tires I liked, then tried to find them cheaper. I have just less than $900 into my set of tires and wheels. What do they say? Champagne taste, beer budget. I just can't justify spending more than that. But that's me. It was hard for me to spend that much on them. I'm usually cheap. I found a smoking deal on the tires for $88 each shipped brand new from Tire Rack. Off brand they didn't want to carry in that size anymore. Fine by me for what I do.Lots of great looking rims, but, you really need to come up with your wants to try to decide if you're gonna wind up happy:
1) are you gonna upgrade brakes? No good finding an awesome 15 or 16" rim if you need to buy another set 12 months from now because of a big brake upgrade
2) what kinda ride quality and conditions are you after? Big rim/low sidewall you feel every tiny crack, and gets worse as your sidewall height decreases. If you daily drive the car and have some poor condition roads in your area, having a very narrow sidewall is also a bad idea with pot holes unless you're made of money.
3) what kind of tire do you want to run? Both terms of width, and, are you wanting particular brands/weather conditions/run flat etc. Some rim sizes are harder to get a ton of options in.
If you can decide those three things for yourself, narrow down a width and size of wheel, then based on that enter consideration number 4...
BUDGET.
At the end of all that you'd be surprised at how much narrower the range of choices gets

They are '80s Appliance uni-lug wheels I lucked out on finding at the Portland swap meet last year. 15 x 7 or 8. Really old tires that work for now
Mine fit under my 15" wheels. Both sets."LS1 Brakes" from a '98 to '02 Camaro fit just fine with 16" wheels.
