Hi Guys,
Well, after a long decison process I finially took the plunge and got my new wheels and tires. They are a brand new BBS wheels called "SR". Only a couple hundred bucks each. They are 8X18 in the front and 10X18 rear. I stuck with my favorite tire - the Bridgestone RE 11's which have been awesome at the track - they 235/40's up front and 275/35's rear. I think they fit perfect - although my next project will be to re-do the suspension and I'm hoping to lower it an inch.
Enjoy!
Joel

I've been looking at those same wheels, but Tire Rack doesn't have them in stock.

Where did you find them?

Very nice looking!
Are there any others that I should consider if looks are not important to me?

Got'm through Tire Rack... they originally said I wouldn't get'm until around late Dec... I guess Santa came early.

The nice thing was they were actually a lot cheaper than others I've looked at.

Did you install the striping? Where did you source the stripes?

My Box is lowered with Eibach lowering springs. I love the feel and look but complaints from passengers is common. I blew a shock on a sharp dip on the highway so there is a price to pay for the cool factor.

Got all the stripes through a place call "House of Grafx". Just Google search them. They are super helpful and like to do custom projects. Good luck... BTW... your car looks lowered a bit... what did you do? I like it!
